Protecting

[Lee]

Hi,
I'm new to using word other than for simple letters and
I'm trying to protect a document using the Tools/Protect
document method.

This works fine but I need to protect only half the
sections of the page and leave the rest free for
alterations/overtyping.

Is it possible to protect certain sections of a page in
the way that excel can do it?

Thanks

Lee

You must insert section breaks, then protect just specific sections.

Yes, not sure about previous versions, but if you have
Word 2002, you can choose to protect only certain
sections. Keep the text you want to remain protected in
a specific section. Click: Tools -> Protect Document ->
Forms -> Sections, then check the sections you want to
protect.
