Default Unhiding Protected Rows and Columns? is it possible?


I have a workbook with a number of worksheets that all interlink.

I have protected a number of cells in one of the sheets.

the problem arrises in that the unprotected cells cannot be hidden or
indeed unhidden when the sheet is protected. Is there a way I can
protect cells whilst still keeping the formatting ability to widen /
hide rows etc.

thanks

If you're using xl2002+, you can choose to format columns or rows in the
tools|protect|protect sheet dialog.

If you're using xl2k or below, maybe you could provide a macro that would
unprotect the sheet, hide the row and then reprotect the sheet.
