Default Can I lock formatting in Excel while keeping the ability to edit?

In Excel 2003, I have some conditionally formatted cells. When others use
the spreadsheet, they sometimes copy/paste information from other workbooks
to those cells, which of course eliminates the formatting I have set up. I
don't care if they copy/paste, but I need the conditional formatting to be
maintained.

2 options:

a) Create a seperate spreadsheet that contains all your calculations. Have
the command button hide/unhide the worksheet.

b). Create a seperate workbook, and have the command button open/close the
workbook.

Either option, you can name it what ever you want, and you can even do a
simple 'self-record' to write the macro.
