In my organization, we run a combination of Word 2000 and 2003. On some
documents we have .jpg signatures inserted. In 2000, when the document is
protected, another user of 2000 cannot alter anything in the doc.

But when the document is created, saved and protected in 2003, a 2000 user
can click on the signature graphic, resize/move it, and save the document
as
the same thing.

I've tried a number of work arounds, all with the same undesirable
outcome.

Is it something I'm doing, or is it a bug?

Thanks for any insight.

Jim.
