I have a lot of documents created with the same styles, and I have a
tendancy to inadvertantly chang them by dragging the mouse around and
clicking at the wrong time.

I solved the problem up to now by having them set for auto update from
the initial template. The link to the template, however, is vulnerable and
I want the documents to stand on their own. Once I break the link, it's
only a mater of time until the styles get messed up. Is there any way to
lock the styles so that they can't be changed unless I unlock them?
