I just had a quick power outage, and now everytime I create a new
spreadsheet, Excel is automatically locking it so I can't go in and
change/add information. Can anyone help me figure out how to make it
stop?

Did your spreadsheet accidentally get checked as "Read Only Recommended"?
Do a "Save as" TOOLS (click drop down box) General Options uncheck "Read
Only Recommended" and save under a new name. Just a possibility.

Thanks for the help, but it wasn't that. In any case, I realized that
the password to access the sheets had to be blank, so I can at least
edit my work until I figure out how to turn this off.
