Lock a doc except for comments?
Hi all,
We've got a document that is going through final approval and we want comments, but there are lots of tracked changes in it already and if anyone added another change we wouldn't see it. (and don't want to run document comparisons after each review). Is it possible to lock a document except for comments, so that when it is placed on Sharepoint comments can be made inside the document but not changes? Thanks! |

Lock a doc except for comments?
Hi Myron,
It depends a bit on what version of Word and Sharepoint you're using. In Word 2007, for example, Review=Protect Document, will allow you to restrict editing to Comments only, whether Sharepoint server is involved or not. I'm assuming you're not first accepting the tracked changes as you want comments to be made not only on the original content but also on the proposed changes. Also, if you open the Word 2007 reviewing pane 'Horizontal' at the bottom of the page the Insertions/Deletions/Comments are listed by date/time stamp with the newest ones at the bottom so you might be able to do a quick scan there to see what has been changed after a certain point in time. Sharepoint has its own toolset of features youmay want to look at via the shaepoint discussion group. ============= wrote in message ...
