I am using Excel 2003.

I have a 6 sheet workbook with a MAIN sheet, being used as a Menu. The MAIN sheet has hyperlinks to each of the other sheets, and each sheet has a cell labelled "Return to MAIN", which is hyperlinked back to the MAIN sheet.

My problem is that I have protected each sheet (except for the areas which require user-input), excluding the "Return" cell, so that it can be clicked. However, this allows the user to change the contents of the cell, even to delete it! How can I make the cell clickable but not editable?

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
