protect row of cells
Hi,
1. If you want to enter comments in a protected sheet, unprotect the sheet and then choose Tools, Protection, Protect Sheet and turn on the checkbox beside Edit Objects in the Allows... area. 2. You can protect a single row by unlocking all cells in the sheet and then selecting the singe row and locking those cells. You lock or unlock cells by selecting them and choosing Format, Cells, Protection tab, check or unchecking the Locked box. Locking doesn't take effect until you protect the worksheet. If this helps, please click the Yes button -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "coltheplumb" wrote: i am trying to protect 1 row of cells and the be able to use insert comments the problem is for the 1 row of cells to be protected you have to protect the whole sheet this then stops the insert comments option showing when i right click . am using the most up to date exel .any help please coltheplumb |

protect row of cells
Hi shane thanks for that but i was hoping to not have to keep unprotecting
the sheet everytime i want to insert a comment . i know on the older version of exel you could uncheck a box as an option in the protect sheet drop down before protecting the sheet . Ho hum back to the drawing board "ShaneDevenshire" wrote: Hi, 1.
