    Protecting Cell Format but allowing cell data entry

    Hello. I have spent a good deal of time to format a worksheet with particular fonts, sizes and borders. I do not want this format to change when others in my office use the file to enter data (sometimes copy & paste) into the cells. How can I protect only the format of a worksheet?

    Thank you.

    Hello telcocook,

    Please try the attached sample Workbook.

    All you need to do, is to change the Code to refer to your specific Sheet where you would like it to work.

    Hope that helps.
