How do you lock a cell in a WORD table?

Word doesn't really have a feature to lock a single cell the way Excel does.
If you have Word 2003, and if everyone else to whom you'll send the document also has Word 2003, you can use the new editing restriction feature in the Protect Document task pane -- select everything except the cell you want to lock, and check the exception box for Everyone. That will leave just the unselected cell with protection. In any earlier version of Word, make a protected form (http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22) and insert form fields in the table wherever users should be able to edit. If they should also be able to edit parts of the document outside the table, insert section breaks and protect only the section containing the table (Tools Protect Document for forms Section). But there will be a number of features that aren't available even in the unprotected sections; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm for a workaround. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
