Hello

I have a workbook nearing completion and I'm now adding (well, attempting)
protection. I have some questions:

a) Each worksheet has regions of unlocked cells, the others being locked.
I can protect each work sheet one-by-one. Is there a way to protect them
all at once? (Selecting all tabs leaves ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet ...
grayed out.)

b) My worksheets contain macros that either hide or show columns using Subs
with code fragments like 'Columns(N).Hidden = False'. When a worksheet is
protected with the default 'select locked cells' and 'select unlocked
cells' checked, I can't run the macros. If I also check the 'format
columns' protection option, the macros work properly, but the user can alter
column widths (undesirable). Is there an easy solution?

c) I have many worksheets with several regions either locked or unlocked.
Is there an easy way to show the locked status of each cell without having
to check each one individually?

d) I think this one is really dumb, but here goes. I took a test excel
file and fully protected each sheet and the entire workbook (both structure
and windows). As expected, I couldn't really do anything after that, but I
could go into explorer and erase the entire file. Is this easily
preventable?

Much thanks
