Default Can you lock a textbox?

I have used a textbox as a sidebar for letterhead. I don't want users able
to change the information within the textbar sidebar.

Copy the text box and paste special it back as a picture. Users will not be
able to change the text. They will however be able to replace the text box.
*Any* document you allow users to see can be edited. You can only make it a
little more difficult to do so.

If accidental changing is the issue, insert the text box in the first page
