Cell formats have a "locked" property that is actually locked by
default. If you protect a sheet it will engage all of the locks, so
choose which ones you wish to unlock first (with Format/Cells/
Protection - version dependent!), and then protect the sheet.

I want a cell like "Name" be locked, but the cell next to it to be open for
entering a name. How do I do it?
