The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

If a published edition created by Microsoft Excel is deleted from the Finder level, that edition will be recreated upon launching the publishing Excel document. In order to cancel a publisher, the Cancel Publisher button must be clicked after bringing up the Update Edition dialog which refers to the published edition. The Update Edition dialog can be accessed through the File Links menu command, or by double-clicking the published area within Microsoft Excel.

After canceling a publisher, the edition can be deleted from the Finder and will not appear when subsequently loading what was previously the publishing document.
