How to Use Restrict Editing in Word
To use the "Restrict Editing" feature in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
Open your Word document: Launch Microsoft Word and open the document you want to restrict editing on.
Navigate to the Review tab: At the top of the Word window, you'll see different tabs. Click on the "Review" tab to access editing and reviewing tools.
Click on "Restrict Editing": Within the Review tab, you'll see a section labeled "Protect." In that section, there's a button labeled "Restrict Editing." Click on it.
Restrict Editing pane: A pane will appear on the right side of the Word window, providing options for restricting editing.
Enable editing restrictions: In the Restrict Editing pane, check the box next to "Allow only this type of editing in the document." From the drop-down menu below, select the type of editing you want to allow. You can choose from options like "Tracked Changes," "Comments," or "Filling in forms."
Optional: Set exceptions: If you want to allow specific people to edit the document without restrictions, you can add their names under the "Exceptions" section in the Restrict Editing pane.
Apply restrictions: Once you've chosen your editing restrictions and set any exceptions, click the "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" button at the bottom of the Restrict Editing pane.
Set a password (optional): If you want to prevent others from removing the editing restrictions without a password, you can set a password in the "Start Enforcing Protection" dialog box that appears. Enter and confirm your desired password, then click "OK."
Save the document: After applying the restrictions, save the document to ensure that the changes take effect.
