Protecting Cells
 
I have approximately 200 cells that I would like to have protected so
users cant be edit or delete them. I would like my users to be able to
move these protected cells into different columns or rows (By Drag and
Drop), just not edit them or delete them. Is this possible? How?

Thanks
Pat

Protecting Cells
 
You can protect you cell by making sure their locked property is selected
(this is the default). Other cells you can make the locked property
unselected (format = cells = Protection tab, uncheck locked).

Then protect the sheet with Tools=Protection = Protect sheet.
supply a password.

You should be able to drag and drop any cells to adjacent unlocked cells.
You can copy and paste any cell to unlocked cells.
