Default Word Template - no edit

Users should not be opening the template; they should be creating new
documents based on it. You can password-protect the template ("password to
modify") if need be.

Hi,

I have a word template (.dot) that i have saved to a file share. I
have it on our Intranet as a link.

I want it so that when a user clicks on it - it does not allow them to
edit any of the formating I have put in the the document. When I click
on it at the moment...I can delete text etc. out of the header.

How is this done.

Thanks
