------- Additional comments from gar...@openoffice.org Wed May 13 08:14:21 +0000 2009 ------- Sheet protection being active prevents any new mathematical formulas from being added anywhere in the sheet - even in cells that have been set to 'unprotected' Scenario: I have a set of values in a spreadsheet and a couple of them took a long time for me to work out or might be difficult to follow when I return to the spreadsheet later - So I protect those couple of cells. How: I select the whole spreadsheet and do Format/Cells/Unprotect so that no cells are protected. Then I pick the couple of cells I want to protect and highlight them and set them to 'protected' through Format/Cells. Now setting the sheet to protected allows me to overwrite all cells except them two important cells. So far so good. I can type and write over most cells in the spreadsheet still, however what I cannot do is add a new formula through 'Insert/Object/Formula' (that menu option appears greyed out) Suggestion1: Protecting a 'sheet' should prevent amendments to existing formulas but allow new formulas to be added. Suggestion2: Protecting a 'sheet' should only prevent amendments to existing formulas that are anchored to a cell which itself is 'protected'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
