If you share a document with other users, you could be concerned about them making unwanted modifications to it. Word has a few different features you can use to prevent this from happening.
One way you can prevent document reviewers from modifying a file is by having it open as read-only. When a reviewer opens the file, a prompt will appear recommending that the file be opened as read-only. If it is opened in read-only mode, the changes can only be saved by giving the file a new name.
To recommend read-only mode:
- Click the Microsoft Office Button and click Save As.
- Click Tools and click General Options.
- Select the Read-only recommended check box.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
- If prompted, click Yes to update the existing file with the new read-only setting.
