Lock document in word
I want to lock my document in MS Word so no one can modify as well copy and
paste into another sheet. Is this possible? All I want is for people to access the document and nothing else. Possible? I have tried protecting changes, but I can still cut and paste into another document and make changes. Thanks Vik |

Lock document in word
Not possible for any document, in any file format: if the user can display
it, they can save it, copy it, change it, and print it. You can restrict them a little by converting the document to PDF; but the 'security' provided is entirely illusory.

PDF is the closest you can come.

If one has Adobe Acrobat (not the reader), text in a pdf can be easily
changed "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... PDF is the closest you can come. -- Suzanne S.

Depends on what you mean by "easily." I have Acrobat, and I have never
figured out how to satisfactorily edit text in a PDF. -- Suzanne S.

It's not the easiest program, is it? It can be done but difficult to do
cleanly. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Depends on what you mean by "easily."

Suzanne,
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro. Right click on a blank space on the tool bar and click on Advanced Editing. Click on the TouchUp Text Tool. Then place the insertion mark at the point you wish to edit (touch up) the text. Hold down the Ctrl key and left click. Fonts will be loaded and the original font will be preseleted. You can change if you wish. Keep in mind, the tool is not to be used for wholesale changes. Chuck "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Depends on what you mean by "easily."

I think I tried that once but obviously didn't quite get it right.
