Protecting cells

I wish to send out a protected worksheet, but allow the user to change font and to widen or colour in certain columns when they return the worksheet to me. How should I do this please?
Thanks
Karen

RE: Protecting cells

USE THE FOLLOWING TO LOcK CELLS:

Cells are protected with a two stage process.

By clicking on format > cells, then navigating to the PROTECTION Tab, you will see a tick box saying locked.

All cells are locked by default, but are only activated once you switch the functionality on.
To do this, click on TOOLS > PROTECTION > PROTECT SHEET.

All cells are locked by default, so your would need to unlock the cells you do not want to protect.

HOWEVER:
before you confirm the password, tick the relevant box to enable the formatting functionality.


 

Excel tip:

Rotating Text in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

Maybe you want to draw attention to certain text or you just simply want to make your worksheet look more exciting!

One of the things you might consider is, rotating the text in a particular cell or set of cells.

1) Select a cell you would like to rotate
2) Click the ''Home'' tab in the Ribbon
3) Click ''orientation'' in the ''Alignment'' section
4) A pop up menu will appear with a few choices, if you want to decide yourself how many degrees to rotate the text, then click ''Format Cell Alignment.''
