The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel, when you try to sort a range of cells in a file saved with the Allow Multi-User Editing option turned on, the entire rows of the cells you want to sort may be sorted.

WORKAROUND

To sort only the selected range of cells, resave the file with the Allow Multi-User Editing option turned off.

WARNING: Resaving the file with the Allow Multi-User Editing option turned off will prevent other users from being able to save changes they have made to the file.

MORE INFORMATION

The Allow Multi-User Editing feature can be turned on to make the file a shared list. This will allow multiple users to access and make changes to the file at the same time.
