Default backspace key

You don't want to let the user of your worksheet be able to correct a
mistyping? Really? I don't think you can do that (once you enter editing
mode); but, if you could, you would also have to disable the Delete key
(otherwise the user could use the mouse to move the caret symbol and then
just delete the character or characters instead). Did you want to do that
also? Oh, and you would probably have to disable the left and right mouse
button as well (otherwise the user could use the left button to select the
characters and then use the right button to bring up the popup menu in order
to select Delete from it). Did you want to do that also? I really cannot
imagine a situation where disabling the Backspace key would make much sense.

I want to disable the backspace key on a single worksheet.

How can I do this?

Gotta be honest...don't know much about macros.

Thank you!
