Formatting Protection
Hi
I run Win2K with Excel 2K I have a spreadsheet that is protected. Some cells on the sheet are not protected so that data can be entered. The problem I have is that sometimes people copy and paste this data from an external source and this results in the formatting for the cell to be changed. What I would like to know is there any way which I can have the spreadsheet protected and allow data to be entered into the unprotected cells but not allow any changes to the formatting for that cell? Thanks, any help is appreciated. John |

Formatting Protection
You could advise your users to use copy then Edit | Paste Special |
Values then the formats will not be changed. Hope this helps. Pete John Calder wrote: Hi I run Win2K with Excel 2K I have a spreadsheet that is protected.
