I need to insert and delete rows in a protected worksheet. When I set the protection, I indicate the user can access unlocked cells, insert and delete rows. After I save the worksheet and try to add rows, it will let me but it will not let me delete rows althought the access box to that task haad been checked.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Even though you have checked the Delete Rows box, you can only delete a row while the sheet is protected if all the cells in the row are unlocked.
