read-only command line switch
I am attempting to find a command line switch for Winword.exe that is similar
to the one I use to open excel documents in read-only. In excel, we use "excel.exe /r filepath/document.xls" to prevent users from changing some forms. I can't find a similar switch for winword -- which seems odd. I'm looking for a command that would be as follows: winword.exe /readonlyswitch filepath/word.doc I'm currently using word 2003 & 2007 |

read-only command line switch
I'm afraid that will not stop users from changing the forms. It would take
them all of five minutes to work around it.

read-only command line switch
Given that you are right about the work around, that is not relevant to my
question. For our purposes, this works fine in excel, I'm just looking for a similar switch in word. Does it exist? "Graham Mayor" wrote: I'm afraid that will not stop users from changing the forms.
