Default How do I lock settings for a student for testing purposes

That's a very interesting question. What kind of a test is it? Will the
student be supervised? You can create a form and then lock the form with a
password. Then as long as the student is supervised periodically during the
test, you can make sure he does not fiddle with it. You can make the text
portions of the test graphical so that the only place to type is in a form
field.

You might also want to try using Adobe Acrobat since PDF files cannot be
edited with the adobe reader. You'll need access to the acrobat editor
file.

He is very knowledgeable about computers. One of his writing accomodations
is to type on the computer but I need to lock all the settings so that he can
not use spell check or grammar check or change margins etc.
