Saving Protection in Word Template
I am creating a template in Office 2003 on a computer with Windows XP. I have
Fields using the Fill in so that when the document is opened popups ask questions and then it is filled in. I have used the Protect Document from the Tools menu and selected that comments be allowed to be edited. I have a small portion of the document that they need to be allowed to edit. I tested it and it worked fine. However, after emailing it for another co-worker to test it is now not protected. I have tried protecting it with a password. But after I save it and close it, and go back in it acts like I never protected it. It does not even remember the password. I have tried copying it into another document and this did not work either. No matter how many times I click on "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" as soon as I close out and go back in it is not protected. Any suggestions? |

Saving Protection in Word Template
Hi Tiffany,
Check in which file format you're saving the document. Are you saving as a "Word Document (*.doc)" file, or as something else? I am creating a template in Office 2003 on a computer with Windows XP. I have Fields using the Fill in so that when the document is opened popups ask questions and then it is filled in. I have used the Protect Document from the Tools menu and selected that comments be allowed to be edited. I have a small portion of the document that they need to be allowed to edit. I tested it and it worked fine. However, after emailing it for another co-worker to test it is now not protected. I have tried protecting it with a password. But after I save it and close it, and go back in it acts like I never protected it. It does not even remember the password. I have tried copying it into another document and this did not work either. No matter how many times I click on "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" as soon as I close out and go back in it is not protected. Any suggestions?
