Can I protect Section Breaks ?
I have created a template for others, but, it seems that frequently, people
inadvertently delete a Section Break . . . and that messes up the headers & footers. Is there a way to prevent this? I tried to assign a style to the Section Break and protect it, but that doesn't stop deletion. Help! |

Hi ?B?QnJlYWtlciBCcmVha2Vy?=,
I have created a template for others, but, it seems that frequently, people inadvertently delete a Section Break . . . and that messes up the headers & footers. Is there a way to prevent this? I tried to assign a style to the Section Break and protect it, but that doesn't stop deletion. which version of Word are you using? And would the users expect to be able to use Drawing Tools in the document?

Can I protect Section Breaks ?
I am running Word 2003 on an XP machine. No, the users will not need to use
Drawing Tools, just add/modify/delete text in the body of the document.

Hi ?B?QnJlYWtlciBCcmVha2Vy?=,
I am running Word 2003 on an XP machine. No, the users will not need to use Drawing Tools, just add/modify/delete text in the body of the document. OK, in this case I'd try Insert a Continuous section break at the beginning of the document Tools/Protect document. In the task pane that opens, 2. step, select to protect as a form. click the "Sections" button that will appear and protect only the FIRST section as a form. this should lock the headers and footers. Some commands (such as drawing tools) will be locked out. In some instances (for numbering, for example) only toolbar buttons will be available.

Can I protect Section Breaks ?
Thank you. I had read the instructions for protecting header/footer, but
didn't make the connection. I thought that would only prohibit the user from opening/editing the header/footer information. I didn't realize that it would protect the header/footer when the section break was deleted. Thanks so much for your patience and post!
