    Disable Border and Other Format Modifications

    Anyone know how to disable an excel user from changing the format of my spreadsheet? I have some cells that are unlocked because the user must input in to those cells, but I do not what that person to modify the format of anything on the sheet.


    THANKS!!

    If you protect the worksheet (tools|protection|protect sheet), then that should
    stop most attempts.

    But if the user is copy|pasting from a difference source, then I don't think you
    can stop them.

    Maybe you could just reapply the format when you want--right before they save or
    each time they reopen the workbook???
