Default Expand/Collapse Grouped Data in Protected Worksheet

I've created a worksheet that will be distributed to 300+ users in an
investment group. It contains formulas and computations in cells that could
easily be overwritten by spreadsheet novices, so I've protected the worksheet
so users can only edit the cells they need to for the sheet to return the
info they need. The problem is: after protecting the worksheet, Excel won't
allow the user to expand or collapse grouped rows that list detailed
information on each step of the calculations. This is inconvenient because
I'd like to give the users the ability to expand the spreadsheet to see
what's going on, but collapse the extra data for printing purposes. MS
Support said that this functionality wasn't available (but it should be), so
I'm curious if anyone has ideas for a good workaround? The spreadsheet can
be grabbed from www.realrobert.com/foreclosure/worksheet.xls - password is
blank to unlock. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
