We use a couple of different templates for all of our documentation,
depending on the type of document. We want people to be able to make
adjustments to a document if necessary (apply bold and italic to text,
indent, etc.) but we want to lock it so they can't modify the template
itself. We've made the templates read only, but we'd feel better if there
were some way to password protect it. I tried setting a modify password on
the template, but it required the password to apply the template or even open
a document based on the template. Any ideas?


Why isn't read-only good enough? If the template is at a central
location on a server, make its folder read-only too.
