Bullet points and protecting a document

Hi Clare

Thank you for your question.

You should be able to do this if you set up the bullets so they are in their own section in the document; then apply protection using the Form option.

To do this:
1. Insert one continous section break immediately above the bulleted list; and another immediately underneath the bulleted list.

2. Go to Tools - Protect Document.

3. Select the Forms option.

4. Click the Sections... button next to the Forms option.
5. Untick the Section that the bullet points are in (probably section 2 if you have no other types of sections breaks apart from the continuous section breaks inserted in step 1).

6. Enter a password if you wish.

7. Click OK.

Protection is applied automatically to sections surrounding the bullet points, but you should be able to edit the bullet points themselves.

I hope this helps. I've attached an example for you to look at - it will help if you have your Show/Hide button turned on when you look at it so you can see the section breaks.
