Lock individual columns -not entire tab- in 07

[Financeer]

How does one lock certain columns in a spreadsheet without locking the entire tab? I've gone through countless attempts and each result in the entire sheet being locked. I'm using '07. I've tried it both with and without checking the "Lock Cell" under the Cells>Format on the ribbon.

Also, does "un-checked" mean it IS NOT highlighted? Again I've tried it both highlighted and un-highlighted.

Thanks!

Go to home
format
lock cell (have the cells you want locked highlighted first)
then go into format and protect sheet

Nope. Locked entire sheet again.

Thanks though.

Wait got it. Don't know how exactly but it had something to do with numerous boxes to check once the "protect sheet" dialogue boxes are put up.

Thanks
