    Limit Character Entry on Cells and Font Question

    Hi 2 all,
    • Is there a way to limit character entry on a group of cells or the whole worksheet? For example, I want to limit only 10 characters for any cell when users types in or paste something in it.
    • How do I lock a font or format on a worksheet so that user cannot change it?

    Any ideas would be much appreciated - thanks.

    For # 2,

    You will have to protect the sheet.

    But you will have to lock/unlock cells in the sheet first depending on if you want to be able to overwrite some of the cells or not.

    Where there is a will there are many ways.
