Locking electronic worksheets
The best method is to add the Lock button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
Right-click on the toolbar and choose Customize. In the dialog, set the category to All Commands. Scroll down and click on the Lock command, then click the Add button in the middle of the dialog, and click OK. You only have to do this once. From now on, lock and unlock the form by just clicking once on the Lock button. The other way is to go to the Review tab of the ribbon and click the Protect Document button, which opens a pane. Check the box under Editing Restrictions, choose "Filling in Forms" in the dropdown, and click the Start Enforcing button. But this takes a lot more clicks than the Lock button. By the way, if you need to add or change fields on forms, you need to display the Developer tab on the ribbon. To do that, go to Office button Word Options Popular and check the third box. When you can see the Developer tab, the form fields are on the Legacy Controls button (fourth one in the second row of the Controls group). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
