The other day a mate asked me to draw him some glass balls, I used Inkscape. Later, because I’m like that, I wondered if I could do it in Excel – this is the result – I don’t think Paint Shop has much to worry about!

File Level Protection demo
Last in the series of videos about workbook protection. My new wide screen seams to have effected the video, I could not get it into a editor, and it looks a bit strange in the media player too. Having said that if you need to know how to protect office or Excel files, this will show you a couple of ways.
Worksheet Protection demo
This is the first video I’ve ever done, still need to work out a few things and I sound a bit different than in real life. This is a very simple example of how to set up worksheet protection. Take a look!
2 VSTO VIDEOS, OK, A1, BTW, GR8 ….
Ok, ok here are some videos about VSTO (…emmmm, 2005 SE…)
First is from Andrew Whitechapel and is an example of how easy it is to do something very basic?!. Then it shows some nice solutions. At 6 mins long it does very little to help anyone understand anything, and it’s in c# of course.
The next little snip bit is form a MS site “The Visual Side”. Happily it only works with IE (ha!). Now again this is quite pants, but the interesting thing is at the end, listen if you can bare it, to the bit where Eric Carter talks about the new a more exciting version of VSTO (Orca ? Arcas)… god charm down, 2005 SE only just shipped
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office for the 2007
Now I’m not criticizing either of these two chaps both of whom have written good books and host blogs with good content, but maybe MS should focus their efforts on making more meaningful and worthwhile content… writing help files that are helpful, oh and i don’t know getting MSDN content that is decent…
Now this is a useful link
