Is there a way to lock the margins in Word?
Hello, I've created an electronic version of the company stationary and I'd
like to lock the margins so they cannot inadvertently be altered to invade the white space of the corporate logo that resides in the left hand margin mid-way down the page. If there is no way of locking the margins - is there any way of allowing the end user to edit the body of the document only and not touch the margins, headers, footers? |

Hi Deirdre,
You could insert a macro like the following into the document's template: Private Sub FilePageSetup() MsgBox "Sorry, that option is not allowed with this document", vbExclamation End Sub The above macro intercepts the FilePageSetup action. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Deirdre" wrote in message ...

But it probably wouldn't prevent users from dragging the margin markers on
the ruler. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "macropod" wrote in message ...

If you put the logo in the header view of the pages on which it is supposed
to appear in a borderless text box that occupies the full height of the page and set the wrap of that text box to 'square', then even if the users changed the margin, the text would not invade the space occupied by the text box. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Deirdre" wrote in message ...

Hi Suzanne,
True. I suppose one could use a macro that taps into the DocumentBeforePrint event to force the page setup back to what it's supposed to be. That'd fix 'em. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
