    Multiple Levels of Protection

    Is it possible within the same Worksheet to have 3 different levels of protection for different cells:

    1) Content editable and format changeable (Cell Protection = Unlocked)
    2) Content not editable, but format changeable (Cell Protection = Locked)
    3) Neither content nor format changeable (Cell Protection = Locked)

    So far, using Tools / Protection / Protect Sheet, and checking:
    - Select Locked Cells
    - Select Unlocked Cells
    - Format Cells

    I can get different cells to behave according to 1) and 2).
    But then, for cells needing behavior 3), formatting is left open for changing.

    No. Your cells can either be locked or unlocked, when you protect the sheet you can elect how to handle each type - this is a maximum of two flavours.

    Thank you, Cheeky Charlie. I had hoped there was a trick.
