Hi Jim,
When you protect a document as read-only or for comments only, you can
designate parts of the document to be unrestricted. You can also grant
permission for specific individuals to modify the unrestricted parts of the
document.
1.) On the Tools menu, click Protect Document.
2.) In the Protect Document task pane, under Editing restrictions, select
the Allow only this type of editing in the document check box, and then
click one of the following options:
- No changes (read only) Prevents users from changing the document.
- Comments Allows users to insert comments (Insert menu, Comments
command) into the document. Users cannot change the content of the document.
3.) Select the parts of the document that you want to be unrestricted.
For example, select a block of paragraphs, a heading, a sentence, or a word.
4.) Do one of the following:
Allow anyone who opens the document to edit the part you selected:
Select the Everyone check box in the Groups box.
Allow particular individuals to edit the part you selected:
A.) Click More users, and then enter the user names either by Microsoft
Windows user account or by e-mail address. Separate the names with a
semicolon.
B.) Click OK.
C.) Select the check boxes next to the names of the individuals you are
allowing to edit the part you selected.
Note If you select more than one individual, the individuals are added as
an item to the Group box, so you can easily select them again without
having to select them individually.
5.) Continue to select parts of the document and assign users permission to
edit them, as you want.
6.) Under Start enforcement, click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection.
7.) Do one of the following:
To assign a password to the document so that users who know the password
can remove the protection, type a password in the Enter new password
(optional) box, and then confirm the password.
To encrypt the document so that only authenticated owners of the document
can remove the protection, click User authentication.
Please let me know has this helped You...
