I have an Excel 2007 worksheet that rotates between locked and unlocked rows.
I protect the document correctly (checking the boxes “select unlocked cells”
& “format cells”), but I am still able to indirectly select and manipulate
the locked cells. To do this I select an unprotected cell and drag the cursor
vertically over any number of unprotected and protected cells and then end
the drag on an unprotected cell. This highlights (and selects) both the
unlocked & locked cells and I am able to manipulate all of them freely (i.e.
changing the background color etc.). How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks!
