I am fairly good at manipulating microsoft programs to do what I want for an
end product but have been extremely frustrated with the formatting. We have
reports done in Word that are shared by a number of persons who have to make
their specific changes to the reports. Eventually the formatting gets
corrupted and has to be redone. I have used styles to try to keep things in
place but someone else's "Normal" can eventually take over - especially if it
is a large document.

Is there a way to keep only the formatting specific to a particular document
in that particular document?
Your assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Dianna-

It sounds like you might want to explore this in Word Help:

Allow editing in a protected document
