Default Custom sheet protection

Select the cells where you want to allow entry and right click on them,
Format=Cells, choose protection and uncheck locked.

All other cells should be locked (default)

No do Tools=Protect=Worksheet.

That should do what you want.

I want users to be able to enter data into cells, but not delete or insert

rows or columns.

I can't seem to get sheet protection to work right. Which options do I

select, or is this not possible?
