Is there a way to permanently remove highlighting from editable areas within a protected word document?
This is in relation to a previous question I had on locking portions of a Word Document located here: http://superuser.com/questions/143860/can-i-lock-or-make-uneditable-portions-of-a-word-document
Using this solution, any editable area is highlighted. You can uncheck the Highlight editable area box within the Protect Document bar but if you save and reopen the area is highlighted again. The document is on a network drive. If another user were to open the document it would also be highlighted.
Is there anyway to permanently turn this highlighting off so that when a user accesses the document from the network they do not see this highlighting?
Using Word 2007.
