Making certain parts of table unmodifiable
Word 2003--XP. Does anyone know how to "lock", or make unmodifiable, a
specific row and/or column in a table? There are certain things I would like the table users to be able to modify, but not all. What I'm asking about is sort of similar to the document protection utility, but it's much more specific and not a document-wide thing. Please advise anyone with thanx! Erik |

Making certain parts of table unmodifiable
Insert an Excel Spreadsheet into the document in place of the Word table.
Then you will be able to Protect individual cells in the same way that you can in Excel. When the document is printed, it will appear no different from a Word table. -- Hope this helps.

Making certain parts of table unmodifiable
Thanx, Doug. Gave you positive feedback.
One more question related to this--what would be the proper method of inserting the Excel spreadsheet? I've tried several different scenarios but none achieved the behavior I was hoping to achieve (i.e., Paste Special, Insert File, etc.). I would like the Word document (calling the Excel spreadsheet) to be actually linked to the Excel file (so changes made in the Excel file are reflected in the Word document) and to maintain the cell protection enabled in Excel. Hope this makes sense and hope to hear back from you! Erik "Doug Robbins - Word MVP on news.microsof" wrote: Insert an Excel Spreadsheet into the document in place of the Word table.
