Document Protection

Hello Dee

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

You do have the ability to make a Word 2007 file read-only, which can be read or copied, but not changed/modified under the same file name.

To make a document ready-only in Word 2007:

1. Go to the Review tab, and click Protect Document.
2. Select Restrict Formatting and Editing.
3. In Formatting restrictions, Editing restrictions and Start enforcement, select the restrictions you wish to apply.

Kind regards
Amanda
