Template settings
Is there a way to prevent a user from making changes to the settings in a
template? I created a template with a table containing specific fonts, sizes, line spacing, etc. and the end-user knows just enough about Word to make a mess! Is there a way to prevent changes? (This is not a Form.) |

Template settings
To use a template, the user should be creating a new document from the
template through the File | New dialog. The template should simply be locked for editing (which doesn't stop a new document being opened from it but does stop the user making changes that are then written back to the template). You can also use the Protect function to restrict formatting and editing so that only styles in the template can be used. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Guy Lydig" wrote in message ...

Terry,
Thanks for your response. The user IS creating a new documnet from the template through File | New. Isn't every template "locked for editing" so that changes are not written back to the template? I thought that was the idea of using a template. Here's are the two questionw I need answered: You wrote, "You can also use the Protect function to restrict formatting and editing so that only styles in the template can be used." HOW/WHERE is the Protect function that allows me to restrict formatting and editing so only "styles" in the template can be used? Does "styles" apply to line spacing, font, and font size?

Sorry, you cannot achieve what you want. Word XP did not have that ability.
