Task 1:
Task 1 Scenario: In our MIS 112 lecture videos, we discussed how to password protect a
workbook. Suppose your supervisor at work, Julie Longfellow, has noticed Excel has fields for
two passwords, one to open and one to modify.
Task 1(a): Using non-technical, conversational English, explain to Julie Longfellow (75-100
words) in your own original words why Excel has two options for passwords to protect an Excel
workbook. In your answer, give a specific example for their use (i.e., what kind of data would
you store in a workbook in which password protecting it would provide an advantage). Hint:
This is discussed in the Excel Bible.
Task 1(b): Explain (50-75 words) to Julie Longfellow in your own original words what criteria
you would use to choose a good password to protect a workbook. If you would like additional
information about selecting good passwords, please see the University of Arizona password
