Posting a picture in Word Excel on a protected sheet
I need to paste pictures on a Word Excel Protected Sheet. I know I can unprotect it and paste the picture, then protect it, but even if I unprotect several slots, once the sheet is on the protected mode, I cannot past the picture in the unprotected slots. Is there a way to do it without unprotecting the sheet? This is used as a Goal Sheet. I would like someone to paste pictures of their goals on the protected sheet.

Please understand that in this world there are many different versions of Excel and Word for different operating systems.
That is why it is important to have the information as basic data in advance.
At the same time, the possibilities in Office are so many that some are inclined to say "as sand in the sea".
That's why I insist on such information in advance.
In your case (as far as I understand) you cannot insert an image from Word into Excel because the Excel worksheet is locked.
When the worksheet is locked, you cannot insert an image or anything else into the worksheet.
You need to unlock the worksheet first. If you don't have the password for it, you could try these links (where you can find information about how to unlock).

- My Son in Law is a whiz in computers and once again, he's shown me how to do it. Yes I can set it up to lock the page and install pictures on the page. Problem solved. When I'm on the process of protecting the sheet, I just need to unselect locked cells and then select "Edit Objects" and it works.
Many questions arise, Word or Excel? from where to where? Who is banned and who is not?...
With your permission, if I may recommend, add a file (without sensitive data) and use this file to describe your problem step by step, or add photos with the appropriate description.

Always inform about your Excel version, operating system, storage medium/hard drive, OneDrive, Sharepoint, etc. :).
Don't forget no one in this forum can see what you see.
