Default How do I lock 'track changes'

Thanks - that solves the problem - however, you also said that this can be
bypassed. How? If I use the track changes option with a password, isn't
that sufficient?

Well, using the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane, you can choose
the "Track changes" option. (To display the task pane, click the Protect
Document button on the Developer tab.) But note that this security measure
can be easily bypassed.

For real document protection, you must specify a password to open it (this
encrypts the document).

In Word 2007 - can you lock 'track changes' to make sure noone can make
changes to a document without tracking the changes and also not being able
to
'accept changes' etc.?
