Hi guys,
I have a question regarding highlighting certain words (not the whole cell) in excel. The idea is that i want to highlight select words withing cells for editing, just to make it visually clear what needs to be changed on the excelsheet.I know a similar feature like this exists in Word, where you can basically lock most of the words and only allow people to enter text in the highlighted areas. A solution like this would be preferable, I hope it is possible in excel.
Thanks in advane
