Enabling Disabled Features?

[DaveVikingPE]

I was given a spreadsheet containing multiple worksheets. I would like to refine this spreadsheet by removing several of the worksheets. I'd also like to change the color of some of the worksheet tabs.

I'm not able to do either by the usual means (i.e., right-click and delete or change tab color). The spreadsheet is not protected. It's not locked, it's not read-only, there's nothing in the secret Help>About M$ Excel>Disabled Items box. Nada.

I can add worksheets to my heart's desire but once added, I can't delete 'em.

I've done some web searching and all I find are ways to change tab colors, etc. by the usual, obvious means.

Any ideas?

Ahhhh.... Welcome to the world of shared workbooks...

Well, that was easy: I just un-shared it. Since it's mine and mine alone.

Note for future: have the creator of the shared workbook explain how the changes will work, etc. I've not used a shared workbook before.
