Restrict formatting changes but allow the ability to highlight
Hi,
I am having trouble with a template that I a creating. I have set the styles I want in the template and have locked it so that no other formatting of text styles can be used, however, I do need to allow users to highlight portions of text that need to be reviewed. Is there a way to lock the present styles in but allow the highlight button to remain active? What I am finding now is that once I lock the document all of the text options (including highlighting) becomes greyed out. Thank you for your help CatherineW -- Geek & Graphix |

Restrict formatting changes but allow the ability to highlight
As far as I know, if you want to use highlighting in a protected document,
you must turn off "Limit formatting to a selection of styles" and then set "Editing restrictions" to "Tracked changes" or "Comments" (but note that in the latter case you won't be able to edit the text). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Geek & Graphix" wrote in message ...

Clarification: If you use the "Comments" option, only the text to which you
add comments will be highlighted. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
