protecting p[ortions of a word document...
One of our employees has developed a new contract and has done so in Word
2000. He has now came to me and wants me to "protect" all of the text he has entered and only allow a user to enter data where he has placed underlines etc... Can this type of thing be done in Word 2000 at all? I know you can protect and entire document but I have never seen where you can protect text here and there in a document... Thanks, Brad |

You can make this into a protected form, with form fields for data entry,
but the protection is easily removed. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.

When you say "easily removed" do you mean that any user can just simply go
in and turn off the protection?? That wouldn't be very good as this is a contract I am trying to do up - and I can;t have users messing up the verbiage! Brad Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Anyone can use Tools | Unprotect Document. You can password protect the
document for forms, which disables this command, and most users (judging from the number of questions here) don't know that this protection can be removed by inserting the form into a fresh document. Did you read the referenced articles? -- Suzanne S.

I haven't had a chance to read all the links yet. Guess I should've done that first! :-) Brad "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Anyone can use Tools | Unprotect Document.
