Hi Shirley, Assuming Excel 2010, differs slightly for previous versions the following would apply: To protect just formula cells from being changed in a spreadsheet 1) First, you'll need to un-protect all of the cells on your sheet. To do this, select all of the rows and columns in your sheet. Right-click on then select "Format Cells" from the popup menu. 2) When the Format Cells window appears, select the Protection tab. Uncheck the "Locked" checkbox. Click on the OK button (this is an important step) 3) Next, select the cell(s) that you wish to protect. Right-click and then select "Format Cells" from the popup menu. 4) When the Format Cells window appears, select the Protection tab. Check the "Locked" checkbox. Click the OK button. 5) For the locking of the cells to take effect, you must also protect the worksheet. To do this, select the Review tab from the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then click on Protect Sheet button. 6) A "Protect Sheet" window will appear. You may enter a password to protect the sheet if you wish. The password is optional. 7) Un-check the Select Locked Cells option. Check the other options that you wish the user to be allowed to do then click on the OK button. Now when you move around the Spreadsheet it will bypass those cells with formula in. Hope this helps. regards KeithÂEldridge  Co-ordinator for IT for Visually Impaired Learning Support Sussex Downs College Eastbourne East Sussex BN21 2UF  01323 637138 ÂïïPlease consider the environment before printing this email. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of shirley clow Sent: 02 October 2012 16:18 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] XL help please.
