How do I prevent a user from entering data in a cell?

I am trying to lock down a contiguous group of cells so that the user cannot
change the data or formula. How do I do that?

--Select the whole sheet, right click>Format cells>Protection (last tab), and
uncheck locked.
--Now select your range of cells to be locked Right click>Format cells>
Protection>check the locked box
--Now protect your worksheet. Users will be able to edit and change
information
everywhere other than the last selected range
