Protected Documents

[LEU]

With a protected document if some one tries to edit it, the Protect Document
Pane comes up. Is there a way to have an information box come up telling then
to use the toolbar buttons to edit this document instead of the Protect
Document Pane coming up?

You could use a macro to provide the information eg Use the code as an
autonew macro if you are creating new documents from your template, and/or
autoopen if users are opening the document subsequently. Change sMsg= to the
information you wish to impart.
