How do I make a document protected so that it can not be changed?
I am using Word 2003. I would like to creat a document so that when I send
it to a client, they can not change the document. In Word 2003, when you protect the document, you received a side menu that indicates the document is protect. Can I take the side menu off? Thanks. BJ |

The best plan is to use a third party utility to save the document in PDF
format. It is not fooproof - any document that you allow someone to view can be recreated and edited - but it will offer some protection against alteration. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BJ wrote: I am using Word 2003.

As I said in my original post, with the aid of a third party utility Adobe
Acrobat is the industry standard, but expensive. There are some other suggestions linked from the favourites page of my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BJ wrote: Thanks Graham...and how do I save it in a PDF format?
