Protect Image in Word Document
I am currently using Office 2007, instructions in either 2003 or 2007 would
be great. I created a document. I inserted an image into the document. How can I protect the image so it can not be moved by clicking on it with the mouse? I know I can use forms, but since that does not allow spell checking that is not an option Thanks |

I know I can use forms, but since that does not allow spell checking that is not an option Thanks In Word 2003, protecting the document is the only way to do this. A protected document can be spell-checked by the macro in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm. But since the only way to put any new text into a protected document is to put it into text form fields, that's probably a nonstarter too. In Word 2007, you can use an Image Content Control to do _almost_ what you want. This doesn't require protection and leaves the rest of the document unaffected. First go to the Word Options dialog and check the option to show the Developer tab in the ribbon. On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, click the Image button (third from left in the top row. While the control is selected, click the Properties button in the Controls group and check the option that the control can't be deleted. Then click in the control to insert a picture. The control won't let you drag the picture itself. If you drag the control (by the handle on the upper left corner), it makes a copy at the new location, but the old one stays where it was because it can't be deleted. If a Word 2007 document containing an image content control is saved in Word 2003 format, it will be converted to a plain picture in that file, with no protection at all. The same thing happens if you have the Compatibility Pack installed on Word 2003 and you open the file in Word 2007 format. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Protect Image in Word Document
Joe:
If you put the image inline in a paragraph, it can't be dragged around. If the placement allows, you might consider anchoring the image in the header or footer of that page. You can create a separate section to avoid repeating the image on all pages. This might be all the protection you need, but you can also programatically lock access to the header and footer. http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...dercontent.htm Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 "Joe Medford" wrote: I am currently using Office 2007, instructions in either 2003 or 2007 would be great.

Joe:
Sorry, but I can't answer that. As my signature says, I'm back on Word 2000. Perhaps a 2007 user can help confirm this? Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 "Joe Medford" wrote: This seems good as well.
