Security Options For Word 2007 Documents Part I

You can easily prevent other users from making changes to your Word 2007 documents. You may be wondering why you would want to prevent changes. Consider a situation where you spent hours upon hours creating a document only to have another user make unwanted changes to it. It then takes you additional hours to undo those changes.

With Word 2007, you have a few different options for protecting your documents from unwanted changes. One option is to use read-only mode. With read-only mode, a prompt appears when someone opens the document, which recommends opening it as read-only. When in read-only mode, another user must save the document with a new name to make any changes.

To enable read-only mode in Word 2007:

1. On the Review tab, click Protect Document.
2. Select Restrict Formatting and Editing.
3. Select the options that meet your formatting and editing needs.

Another method for protecting a document is to assign a password to modify. You should use this option when you want to let others read the contents of the document but only allow specific individuals to make changes. When you assign a password to modify, only those individuals who know the password can modify the document.

To set a password to modify a Word 2007 document:

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Save As, and click Tools.
2. Click General Options.
3. Under the File sharing options for this document, type a password in the Password to modify box.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Save.

With a password now required to modify the document, remember to provide the password to those users who need to make changes to your document.
