Automatic protection of parts of a document that opens from a temp
I have a document that when opened you can only fill in certain fields of a
table (which I already know how to do - "protect document" button). However, after it is filled out, what I need is to take away the "save" button from the menu so they can't save over top of the original document. I have tried saving the document as a template and putting protection on certain fields on the template. This works but only when the template is opened. If you double click on the template and open a new file ("document 1"), all of the protected fields become unprotected in the new document from the template and I want the protected fields to stay protected in the new document. Like I said, if I can take away the "save" button on this particular document where they can only "save as", I think that would fix my problem. I hope I've explained it properly. I am using MS Word 2007. Help !!! |

Automatic protection of parts of a document that opens from a temp
After wracking my brain, I've figured it out.
You right click on the document icon, choose properties and make it a "read only" document !! Woo Hoo!!

Automatic protection of parts of a document that opens from a temp
I suppose that using a read-only document as a pseudo-template will
work. But this makes no sense: If you double click on the template and open a new file ("document 1"), all of the protected fields become unprotected in the new document from the template I have never seen a template with forms protection that creates unprotected documents. Something is wrong with either the way you were using the template, or with the template itself. Since the default action for double-clicking a template's icon is to create a new document based on that template, I'd think that maybe the template wasn't created properly, or was damaged, or maybe you have an add-in that's doing something wrong. -- 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.
