I have a large document that reformats from computer to computer. Is there a
way to lock the file, because this file has a table of contents and is
paginated.

The most reliable method is to convert the Word document to PDF
format using Adobe Acrobat or one of its many shareware/freeware
clones, and send the PDF. Native-format Word files can look
slightly or radically different from one computer to another for
the reasons given in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm and
