Document Protection

How do you protect a document so that other people can read it but not edit it?

RE: Document Protection

Hello Dee

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

You do have the ability to make a Word 2007 file read-only, which can be read or copied, but not changed/modified under the same file name.

To make a document ready-only in Word 2007:

1. Go to the Review tab, and click Protect Document.
2. Select Restrict Formatting and Editing.
3. In Formatting restrictions, Editing restrictions and Start enforcement, select the restrictions you wish to apply.

Kind regards
Amanda

Word tip:

Showing different heading levels in the document Map

If you have created your document using Styles on your headings then great they appear in the document map, but if you have lots and want to minimise them to say show just all level 1 headings right click in the document map and part of the outline toolbar shows allowing you to choose your level headings you want to view.
