ms office boffin help required
how do i stop someone from changing a document i've got written in word?
i've got as far as being able to protect document but then it says:
tracked changes
comments
forms
then it says password optional
so how do i do it?
it's different on this set up to what i'm used to as i used to be able to just turn it into a read only file

In MS Word 2003, click on TOOLS, PROTECT DOCUMENT (you may have to unfold the pull-down to see this.
A box appears on the right hand side.
In Option 2, select Everyone, then click START ENFORCING.
You will be asked for a password and the job is done.

Alternatively go into tools, options, security and whack a password into the "modify" box, reenter it and remember to save it and its done.

Just booted up a REALLY old laptop (so old that the battery doesn't work!) and tried it in Word 97
TOOLS, PROTECT DOCUMENT
Select FORMS, add a password and that's that.
I don't have anything any older to check for you, but hope this does what you need.
Alternatively, if you go to the Adobe website, you can convert a number of documents to pdf each day without downloading anything.
