the fact that you want to select and copy <i>part </i>of the cell, means user interaction.<br />
<br />
so you have to document a process of some sort, like robt or thinkspace.<br />
<br />
can you elaborate on why a vba option that does the above is not acceptable ? it can be locked off to prevent malicious changes...

Thanks for final conclusion.<br />
To robberbaron: the client doesn't want vba code because they are wary of it being too difficult to maintain ongoing.

Hi, <br />
<br />
Now I'm asking for the impossible (that is my client is) but here goes, just in case there's some miraculous answer.......<br />
<br />
Situation: &nbsp;A cell is protected (ie; cell is still locked &amp;&nbsp;worksheet is protected).<br />
Request: &nbsp; Is there any way without VBA code that PART of the content of the cell can be selected &amp;&nbsp;copied? &nbsp;I know the whole cell content can be copied.<br />
<br />
Please!
