Hi mon,
Depending on the document's layout, you may be able to achieve what you need by simply moving the shapes & images into the page header or footer. Alternatively (or additionally) you can use Section breaks to delineate the 'protected' and 'unprotected' portions, then use forms protection (Tools|Protect Document|Forms Sections) to lock only the 'protected' portions. Do note, though, that tis imposes a number of editing restrictions on the 'unprotected' portions also. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "mon" wrote in message ... i need to lock some elements on the page so when i give to sales staff they cant edit all of the doc, only things that i have left unlocked. this can be shapes, images inserted and or text boxes. can you do this, how do i do this, there must be a way. cheers |
