Default Excel 2002: How to write protect a cell using password ?

Oops... Also, select the cells that you want people to be able to
edit and uncheck the Locked Field in the FOrmat Cells Pop-up. :)

Dear Sir,


Lets consider the folowing worksheet example:


Tommy prepares a budget and submit it to Jimmy for reviewing. The budget is
finally approved by Sally. All these are done in an Excel worksheet as
follows:


A B
1 USD
2 Budget Sales : 2,500,000
3 Budget Cost : 1,800,000
4 Budget Profit : 700,000


10 Prepared by : Tommy
11 Reviewed by : Jimmy
12 Approved by : Sally


May I know how could Tommy write protect his figures in cell B2:B4 by using
his own password ?


If Tommy need to change the figures what are the keyboard steps ?


The password that Tommy used is it different in each cell, or same
throughout the a single Excel file or the whole Excel program itself ? What
he need to do to change the password ?


As the document is passed around, can Jimmy and Sally acknowledge at B11 and
B12 with their own passwords ?


Thanks


Low
