Page breaks and protection

Hi Katie

Thanks for letting me know. The approach would work like this

In your unprotected document insert continuous section to indicate the boundaries of the editable regions of your document.

Apply protection to your document Tools > Protect document

From the Task Pane in the Editing Restrictions box choose forms (even though you might not be using form elements in your document, the forms setting here enables you to create editable and non-editable sections)

Below the dropdown box a hyperlink called "Select sections..." should appear. Click it and from the list of sections in your document make sure that the areas you want to be protected are ticked. The sections you would like left editable to the user are unticked. Click OK

Start protecting your document by clicking on the button at the bottom of the Task pane called "Yes, Start enforcing protection"

From the dialog box that appears you can choose to apply a blank passord (so anyone can un protect the document) or set a secret password to prevent unauthorised unprotection of the document.

I've tested this will manual page breaks in editable regions and it seems to preserve the sections.

Let me know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew
