Tabbing thru Protected Cells

Is it possible to allow the tab key to work on a protected sheet the same as it does on an unprotected sheet? By this I mean, when I protect a sheet the tab key will only take me to unprotected cells and I want to tab anywhere just not be able to change the data.

When you protect the sheet 'tick' the "select protected cells" tickbox and the "select unprotected cells" tickbox, as seen in the attachment.
Then when you tab about you will be able to select any of the cells in the worksheet.

Thanks!
Tried it but when I hit the Tab key it still only takes me to cells that are unprotected (when I go to a5 and hit tab it will not take me to a6 but back to a1). I can click on them put wanted to tab normally if possible.

Your quite right, I've not really noticed this before.... but 'Enter' and the arrow keys will navigate to whichever is the next cell, but tab jumps to the next unprotected cell....this must be an Excel-ism, sorry I can't help further.
