Default document protection and Ink Annotations

Hello,

I know you asked this a long time ago but I've been searching for a solution
to this same problem. I want to be able to lock the document from
unauthorized changes but I still want to allow inking. If you choose under
"Restrict formatting" to allow tracked changes only, you will still be able
to use the inking feature. I know this isn't perfect, but let's face it, it
is a microsoft product. I really hope microsoft addresses this in office
2010, but I'm not holding my breath. I hope this has helped you. If you have
learned anything new let me know.

thank you.

Hello,
I've seen a few posts regarding protecting a Word document (by sections) and
the Ink (comments/annotations) feature using a tablet pc. It seems that even
though you setup protection by section the ink feature is disabled. I
haven't had any luck getting confirmation whether this will be fixed (or if
theres a workaround). Anyone else had any luck? thanks.
