allow some editting in a locked document
I want to lock a document for editing, that is size and font should always
remain the same, as well as bullets and numbers. However, I would like to allow people who will enter the text to apply "bold", "italics" and "underscore" to their texts, as these editting funcionalities are crucial for us. However, with the normal "protect document" functionality, this does not work anymore. Many thanks in advance for your help! Cristina |

allow some editting in a locked document
Is this for an unprotected section of a protected document? If so, Word
(2007) allows you to apply Quick Styles (that is, styles available in the Styles group of the Home tab) only. Unprotect the document, and then create character styles that apply the desired formatting (for bold and italic you can use the built-in Strong and Emphasis styles), making sure to enable the "Add to Quick Style list" option in the Modify Style dialog box for each of the styles. When you are done, protect the document again. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Cristina" wrote in message ...
