    Protecting formulas in a workbook

    How do you protect cells with formulas in a workbook without keeping changes from being made by other people who are sharing the workbook?

    In other words. I have inserted formulas into hundreds of worksheets that are going to be shared. I don't want the calculations to be lost if someone happens to push the wrong keys. Several people will be sharing these worksheets and will need to change numbers in them, but I want to protect the formulas. Is this possible?

    Thank you ahead of time.

    Creating duplicate worksheets

    Is there a way to copy a worksheet and create a hundred more without having to paste them one at a time?
