Please improve Excel performance. I have Microsoft for Windows opened in a virtual machine alongside Excel for Mac. And despite limited resources Excel for Windows performs MUCH better. For example when I put any value in a cell and hit enter and do it multiple times in a row then I experience a noticeable lag.

Hello, I'm using Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac version 12.2.0 (090605) (Mac OS 10.5). I created a sheet, selected some cells to be locked and others to be unlocked (using Format Cells), then I used Tools Protection Protect Sheet (choosing Contents only, not Objects or Scenarios). This has the desired effect of protecting the locked cells from users accidentally typing changes and overwriting their current contents. I can still enter new data in the unlocked cells as expected, but unexpectedly I cannot change the formatting of unlocked cells (e.g., shading, font - bold). These are.unlocked.
cells so even if the sheet is protected, why can't I change the formatting for them? It is too tedious to Unprotect the sheet every time I need to change formatting of an unlocked cell.
I have zero experience with Visual Basic and can't even find options that others have described (e.g., right clicking the sheet name does not yield 'Show code' and Tools Macros does not yield anything comprehensible about VBA). So if your suggestions involve something complex, please do include detailed instructions! Thanks, Anne. Re: Format Unlocked Cells On Protected Sheet.
Mac Nope, unfortunately that won't work. I want to change formatting to reflect my certainty about the data values. Until an automated algorithm can detect my hesitance in typing in a number, well.
Conditional formatting won't work for me! Although, I could add an additional column next to each data entry column where I type in some text like 'estimate' or 'finalized' then use conditional formatting to change that data value formatting based on the contents of that column. But that would be overly complicated and also double the size of my worksheet. I'm perplexed by this 'feature' of microsoft excel wherein an unlocked cell is actually locked for some purposes.
Any inklings as to whether someone at Microsoft thought this was useful, or was it just programming laziness (easier to lock all formatting than to sort out which cells are locked or unlocked)?
