PASSWORD PROTECTED HEADER AND FOOTER ONLY
I try to find proper solution HOW TO PREVENT USERS FROM ACCESSING PASSWORD
PROTECTED HEADER AND FOOTER in MS Word 2003 and 2007 for 3 months by now€¦ ???!!! I find two solutions - one I figured how, second, not for a million years€¦ Even more, few more questions reviled during this above discovering HOW TO€¦? I try to contact 2 MVP's already, both failed with the proper result for me on the above question. FIRST PROCEDURE THAT I FIGURED HOW TO (Article ID 888184): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To protect the text that is in the header and the footer of a Word document from changes, follow these steps: Open the Word document that contains the header and the footer that you want to protect from changes. Do not open the header or the footer of the document. 1. Make sure that you are at the top of your Word document: to do this, press CTRL+HOME. 2. On the Insert menu, click Break. 3. In the Break dialog box, click Continuous under Section break types, and then click OK. 4. On the Tools menu, click Protect Document. Now, in Microsoft Office Word 2003, follow these steps: 1. In the Protect Document task pane, click to select the Allow only this type of editing in the document check box under Editing restrictions, and then change the box to Filling in forms. 2. Click Select sections. 3. In the Selection Protection dialog box, click to clear the Section 2 check box, and then click OK. 4. Under Start enforcement, click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection. ------------------- THIS ACTUALLY WORKS 100%, BUT€¦, I need functions such us Descending and Ascending, which was not available any more after above procedure!!! Better understand, I only want to prevent users from accessing Header and Footer, everything else in the "BODY" of the Document MUST BE FULLY EDITABLE TO ALL USERS, WITH ALL NORMALL MS WORD FUNCTIONS AND ABILITIES FOR EDITING!!! Than I experiment with ONLY FOR READING Protection and setup Group to: All. Unfortunate, that, change the color (YELLOW) of everybody allowed part of the Document to be editable in full, and even that function of MS Word was with some restrictions: Underline does not work, many normal and classic MS word functions also did not work any more after protection was activated€¦ Even further when I want to Save my .doc / .docx Document to .dotx Document, the Password protection was not remembered at all, not just one single time!!!??? - Is this a bug in MS Word 2007 .dotx format???!!! ************************************ SECOND PROCEDURE THAT I DID NOT FIGURED TOTALLY (Article ID ?): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last thing that I try, with a polite advice of Doug Robbins - Word MVP, is a proper solution from another respectful Microsoft MVP, Bill Coan, via: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...PlusHeader.htm .

PASSWORD PROTECTED HEADER AND FOOTER ONLY
What is the point of this exercise? Any document that you allow a user to
see can be edited. The password protection of parts of the document simply gets in the way of using the document. If your users cannot be trusted to use the template properly, don't let them have access to it until they have had the proper training. However if you want to pursue this macro 'solution' - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to help you with your code troubleshooting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bruno.H. wrote: I was talking just about this particullar article before in my original Post.

PASSWORD PROTECTED HEADER AND FOOTER ONLY
First I want to thank you for your quick Reply.
To be able to answer to your questions, it is actually a difficult. It is not actually an exercise or something. I try to create a document, finally settled as Memo Template for one short medicine project, (you can say humanitarian€¦), for using for one year time, maximum€¦ Unfortunate, the education for the people who will use this document at the end, was barely providing with: "How to use a Mouse, start the Programs on the PC, and use basics things in MS Office (Word primarily). The youngest person who will finally use this document has 46 years, and before 7 weeks never work on PC in his life... And he is now placed to work in this particular humanitarian project for prox. one year time period, and he will written just daily reports in MS Word, in this particular document, and that is all. It is very difficult, in normal computer and professional workmanship, to understand, how it is hard to explain someone of mentioned personnel, that I can fix all his mistakes in the Body of the document (and I work totally pro bono for these humanitarian short project€¦), but every time, fix mistakes in header and footer part of the document (where the addresses, phones, logo and etc. are placed, on there exact millimeter positions€¦), it is very difficult for me to fix all that time, if that accident mistakes should revile in that specific area of the document. This is the only reason why I think, somehow, that there is actually an easy way how to protect header and footer from accessing abilities to everyone with Password protection or something similar, but I just do not know how... Finally I will try to use your Macro advice, and for day or two post a polite answer to it if that was helpful for me or not. At least, now, I know that there is no normal MS Word function to be able easily just Password or similar protect header and footer part of the Document€¦ Once more thank you for everything... P.S.: If you ask me, I think that Microsoft should allow this particular ability in MS Word Docs, although you may easily conclude that this specific Doc. part Password protection, on some way, defeat the main originate purpose to normally use the MS Word Document€¦ "Graham Mayor" wrote: What is the point of this exercise?

PASSWORD PROTECTED HEADER AND FOOTER ONLY
There is no easy solution to your problem. You can create a protected form
in which the user can only enter text in the form fields. This will be fine as long at the users can spell correctly (though you can add macro code to force a spell check - http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm ). As I indicated earlier protected forms make normal editing difficult as the protection switches off a lot of functionality. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bruno.H. wrote: First I want to thank you for your quick Reply. To be able to answer to your questions, it is actually a difficult. It is not actually an exercise or something. I try to create a document, finally settled as Memo Template for one short medicine project, (you can say humanitarian.), for using for one year time, maximum. Unfortunate, the education for the people who will use this document at the end, was barely providing with: "How to use a Mouse, start the Programs on the PC, and use basics things in MS Office (Word primarily). The youngest person who will finally use this document has 46 years, and before 7 weeks never work on PC in his life... And he is now placed to work in this particular humanitarian project for prox. one year time period, and he will written just daily reports in MS Word, in this particular document, and that is all. It is very difficult, in normal computer and professional workmanship, to understand, how it is hard to explain someone of mentioned personnel, that I can fix all his mistakes in the Body of the document (and I work totally pro bono for these humanitarian short project.), but every time, fix mistakes in header and footer part of the document (where the addresses, phones, logo and etc. are placed, on there exact millimeter positions.), it is very difficult for me to fix all that time, if that accident mistakes should revile in that specific area of the document. This is the only reason why I think, somehow, that there is actually an easy way how to protect header and footer from accessing abilities to everyone with Password protection or something similar, but I just do not know how... Finally I will try to use your Macro advice, and for day or two post a polite answer to it if that was helpful for me or not. At least, now, I know that there is no normal MS Word function to be able easily just Password or similar protect header and footer part of the Document. Once more thank you for everything... P.S.: If you ask me, I think that Microsoft should allow this particular ability in MS Word Docs, although you may easily conclude that this specific Doc. part Password protection, on some way, defeat the main originate purpose to normally use the MS Word Document. "Graham Mayor" wrote: What is the point of this exercise? Any document that you allow a user to see can be edited. The password protection of parts of the document simply gets in the way of using the document. If your users cannot be trusted to use the template properly, don't let them have access to it until they have had the proper training. However if you want to pursue this macro 'solution' - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to help you with your code troubleshooting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bruno.H. wrote: I was talking just about this particullar article before in my original Post.
