How do you unlock cells so you can type directly into a cell that
contains a data validation pull down menu? What gives?

If you have a data validation list, you can type a valid entry, instead
of selecting it from the list.
If you want the list, but you want to be able to type other values in
the cell:

Select the cell
Choose Data>Validation
Select the Error Alert tab
--Remove the check mark from 'Show error alert after invalid data
is entered
--OR, in in the dropdown list for Style, choose Warning or Information.
