Default Protect cell but allow copy command?

Does this work the same way in 07? I have tried it several times. However,
it will not allow me to copy and insert a row without entering the password.

Yes, go to the cell right click and select format cells from the pop-up menu.
Then go the very last right tab and place a check mark in locked and hidden
check boxes, click OK. Then go back to the main sheet and select protection
from the "Tools" menu, there, select "Protect Worksheet". Add a password of
your choice and that should do it. However, since this is still Excel, if the
user(s) copies and pastes across many columns or rows, depending on what you
are trying to accomplish, they may still be able to blow out your formulas,
be careful to instruct them of the dangers of doing that!

Hope this helps!

I have a problem with people thinking they are copying cells in a column
when they are really incrementing the value of the first cell (and not paying
attention). Is there a way to protect the column and allow them to copy but
not change the cells?

Thanks,
