Column Protection

[Don]

I've created a table with 6 columns. I want to protect 4 of these columns.
How can I easily do this?

Thank you.

You cannot do it with a Word table unless you insert formfields in the cells
in the other columns and then protect the document for forms.
Alternatively, insert an Excel spreadsheet instead of a Word table and use
the protection capability of Excel.

Hi Don,

Well, if you have Word2003, you could select all of the document except
those four columns (using Ctrl+Shift) and restrict editing to those selected
portions, using the "Protect document" task pane.

Greetings,
Klaus
