Someone in the office just needed to protect a Word document they’re sending out from being modified or changed by anyone.
Now, you’d think the logical place to accomplish that task within Word would be to go to Tools > Protect Document… wouldn’t you? WRONG! That’s only to protect the document from review changes and revisions.
According to the Microsoft Help Files, the actual location to protect a document from being modified (or opened) is through the Save As… file dialog box. Once the dialog box is open, you click on the “Tools” option there and choose “General Options” then enter a password into the fields for modify and/or open.
That just seems much more convoluted than it actually being in a sub-menu within the original “Protect Document” area!
