Column Protection
I've created a table with 6 columns. I want to protect 4 of these columns.
How can I easily do this? Thank you. |

You cannot do it with a Word table unless you insert formfields in the cells
in the other columns and then protect the document for forms. Alternatively, insert an Excel spreadsheet instead of a Word table and use the protection capability of Excel. -- Hope this helps.

Hi Don,
Well, if you have Word2003, you could select all of the document except those four columns (using Ctrl+Shift) and restrict editing to those selected portions, using the "Protect document" task pane.
