I'm going to give an example of what I have to hopfully give a better
understanding of what I am trying to accomplish.

I have a workbook with 40 worksheets. 30 of these work sheets need to have
the same specific cells unprotected, while the rest of the sheets/cells need
to be protected. I have tried to only unlock the needed cells under cell
format, and then protecting the entire workbook, but this did not provide the
results I need. I found that the only way I am able to achieve what I am
trying to accomplish is to protect each sheet individually, one at a time.
This is very time consuming, protecting 30 sheets in a workbook.

What would make things easier is selecting multiple sheets and allowing all
sheets to be protected at once.
