    protect worksheet with multiple passwords

    I have an excel file with three worksheets in it. I can happily protect each sheet with a different password but what i want to be able to do is the following:

    a. have a global administrator password for all the sheets - so i assume set the same password to protect the whole sheet
    b. have individual passwords that only allow the user to insert rows and change data within restricted columns, i.e. can only edit columns A:Z and cannot manipulate any formulas within that range A:Z

    i have excel 2010 if that makes any difference

    thanks for any pointers
