Create an "un-editable" document template
My challenge is to create a word document that functions like a PDF €“ users
are unable to edit typefaces and formatting, but can access the document easily and add information where they are prompted. At a previous employer, with very strict advertising and document formatting guidelines, I've seen a word template where are areas are gray/you cannot edit with the exception for the areas that you can fill in (for instance, they created a fax sheet for employees to use where the company logo remained gray and you could not edit, but you can add your name and recipient information). Any suggestions on how I could duplicate this format now? |

Create an "un-editable" document template
Hi ?B?VXllbg==?=,
Take a look at the Forms toolbar and the Forms protection, for starters. If you need to discuss your requirements in any detail, we need to know which version of Word is involved. My challenge is to create a word document that functions like a PDF €“ users are unable to edit typefaces and formatting, but can access the document easily and add information where they are prompted.

Any suggestions on how I could duplicate this format now?
