Working with Colours in Excel – M.I.E Colour Manager

Here is the BETA version of my Colour Manager, and tool for creating colour pallets in Excel:

It’s a VB6 com addin, the only thing you really need to know is that you load a picture on the left and then click that picture to get the colour at that point. You can then click a pallet square to place it where that square is. Click the send to workbook button to send it to the active workbook.

However I have also made a video to show how to use it. Bosh!

Here is the file!

Glass Orbs in Excel?

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!
