Protecting "styles" from being changed

I sometimes e-mail a master document to others in the office and ask for
content changes and that they return the updated file to me. Sometimes a
person will change the style(s) in the document (eg a header or paragraph,
table, etc.). Is there a way to prevent style changes while still allowing
editing of content?

Word 2003 has this form of protection.

In earlier versions, you can protect the document for changes (Tools/Protect
document). Then you can see what the user has done and accept/reject it.

Or, you can protect the document for comments and the users can only comment
what they'd like to have changed.
