changing an excel error message
 
I have created a report template. Certain cells are protected, and certain
cells are editable. When a user clicks on a protected cell, they get the
following error message "The cell or chart you are trying to change is
protected and therefore read-only. To modify a protected cell or chart,
first remove protection using the Unprotect Sheet command (Tools menu,
Protection submenu). You may be prompted for a password." Since the chart
is for my superiors, I was wondering if anyone knew how to either suppress or
edit the Protected cell error message. I am looking for phraseology that is
a little more subtle.

Regarding solutions, I am familiar with how to modify my own help messages,
but the problem is that these files will be sent to users on other machines.
I would guess that I could send them new Help files, but was looking for a
more elegant approach
