Not sure about 2007 but try deselecting the "objects" selection.

In Excel 2000 when you select Tools-Protection-Protect Sheet the menu
looks like this...

Protect worksheet for
Contents
Objects
Scenarios

By deselecting objects you are allowed to add, remove, and edit comments. I
assume 2007 Beta should work the same in this case.

Hi all,

I would like to be able to be able to add comments to a protected worksheet.

I am using Excel 2007 Beta.

When I "protect" the sheet, I do the following...

Yes = Select locked cells
Yes = Select unlocked cells
Yes = Edit Objects

Once the sheet is protected, I am able to click on add-comment, but then I
am told the sheet is protected and this is not allowed.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,

Darrell
