Protect Section in Word without limiting formatting in unprotected sections
- by grom
Steps to create protected section (in Word 2003):
Insert - Break...
Choose Section break, Continuous
Tools - Protect Document...
Enable 'Allow only this type of editing in the document' in editing restrictions
In the drop down select 'Filling in forms'
Click on 'Select sections...' and uncheck the unprotected sections (eg. Section 2)
Click 'Yes, Start Enforcing Protection' and optionally set a password.
Now go to the unprotected section and in the Format menu options like 'Bullets and Numbering...' and 'Borders and Shading...' are greyed out.
How can you protect a section without limiting the features that can be used in the unprotected section?
