By default all cells are locked whwn you protect a sheet, you have to do it
this way:
Select all the cells you dont want to protect then choose Format/Protection,
uncheck "Locked", then protect your sheet.

From the main menu*, you then have the option of protecting the whole
workbook or worksheet. That enables the protection you put on in the
format
command

In OL2007 it is Review/ and your options are on the ribbon bar.
