I'm having trouble understanding the postings concerning this subject.
Although very detailed, it's overkill for me. I just want to protect a
document with a password so when the document is selected, the only thing
that shows is the dialog box, as in previous versions of Word, that inform
that the document is protected and to enter the password. NOT to bring up the
document in full view and just restrict editing. I think I've tried all the
various protection options in the customization section of the Word options
on the ribbon and am now at the end of my rope...or Word.
Thank you in advance for any help.
