Default Inserting Comments in protected worksheets

Thanks for reading this post.

I am using Office 2003.

I have a protected worksheet with many un-locked cells where data would be
entered. At times I also want to insert comments in these cells (ie.in
un-locked cells) describing the data entered in the cell. Though Excel 2003
allows certain flexibility but not insert comments, is there a way this could
be achieved?

Default Inserting Comments in protected worksheets

When you protect the sheet, allow the users to "edit objects" at the bottom of
that list.

But this allows other objects to be added/deleted/moved....
