Is it possible to have a large document protected (so it cannot be edited),
but allow certain pages to still be edited, ie. excluded from the
protection. I write Safety Systems for companies, and have had a request to
leave the MSDS Register unprotected so it can be edited in the customers
office.

Thanks,

Rob

What version of Word do you use? It is possible in Word 2003.

This is possible at least since Word 97. You can protect a document as a
whole or on a section basis. Some formatting options will not be present
even in unprotected sections, though. Best look up "protection" in your
offline help.
