Before sharing a workbook containing Mathematica formulas or macros, you may first want to unlink the workbook. Unlinking a workbook will allow others to take a look at the results in the workbook without launching a kernel, encountering pathnames from your hard drive, or inadvertantly replacing cell values with #NAME? errors.
To unlink a workbook:
Unlinking a workbook.
When unlinked, formulas are stored as cell comments, and macro buttons display a "macro cannot be found" error when clicked.
Once a workbook is unlinked, it can easily be viewed without problems on other machines, even machines where MathematicaLink is not installed. Those who do have the link will have the option of relinking the workbook and interacting with it.
