How do I lock the header in MS Word?
With regard to locking the header, I had a similar issue this morning which
is how I found your post, and noticed that Word 2007 has a Content Protection system. Try the following: * Display the Developer Tab on the ribbon. (Open word options, then click the check-box in the Popular section.) * With your template open, navigate to the Developer tab. * Click the Protect Document button. (You should see a sidebar.) * Under Editing Restrictions, click "Allow only this type of editing in the document" and set the dropdown to "No changes (Read only)" * Click somewhere in your template that isn't the header/footer and hold Ctrl-A to select all. * Under the Exceptions part of the sidebar now displayed in Editing restrictions, click the check-box for 'Everyone'. In other words, your entire document is read-only except for the main part in the middle, which can be edited by everyone. * Click the "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" button, and set a password if you want to. At least I think this works for a couple of templates we have where we don't really want people tinkering with some of the content. Keep in mind that this probably won't prevent people from finding a way to create a document that doesn't match your template if they really want to, but it might help to stop them from changing bits accidentally.
