I had a user ask me about how to protect her Word documents so that other users couldn't edit them so I showed her how to use Protect Document in Word 2003 which works great. My question is if you send a user a word document that uses Office XP, 2000 or 97 will this Protect Document feature still work being that the other user has a previous version of Office?

I'm trying to make a check box with a shadow. The only box I can find is under Insert, symbol. I'm a former Word Perfect user and could do this with Ctrl-W and there was a box with a shadow. - 4. How do I do a global replace on symbols?
We do a lot of scientific documents and it would be helpful to be able to do a global replace on symbols. Is it possible or are we stuck manually doing 60 changes a document? - 5. In what version of Word is the "comment balloon" feature available
We have Word 2000 in our office and are unable to locate the area where we can either insert a comment balloon or print one from a document that has been generated by someone else.

Yes, and no. The user of previous versions of Word will not be able to make any changes in the document. That is, feature by feature protection is not enabled in the previous versions. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://www.**--****.com/ Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://www.**--****.com/ See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.**--****.com/ ! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
