Hi Fred,

Use conditional formatting. Select the worksheet range, starting from cell
A1. Then set the "Formula is" format to =CELL("protect",A1) and the format
to a pattern fill.

Hello all

I would like to set up excel so that if a cell or a range is protected it
will be displayed in a different
colour.
Can any one tell me how to do this.
