Hi

When I make a Word .doc. I want to save it so that when I send the .doc and the other party opens it
it will not open so it can be edited ... so I make a DOC.
send it via email ... and they open my DOC. it opens it a form that they can also edit it. so how do I save a doc.
that someone cannot edit ?

Thanks Ask ME Guru's

Can you tell me which O/S (Operating System) and version of MS Word you're using? I'm at work, just now, but can respond with instructions this evening.

I'll post the specific instructions, later this evening, if that's ok.

I don't have your O/S, or version of Word, but here is how you, generally, protect a document.

• Click on File > Save As...
  Click on Tools, in the Save dialog box (it's located at the top right).
  Click on Security Options (WinXP) or General Options (Win98 )...I'm not sure what WinME is.
  Type in a password in the Password to modify box.
  Check the Read-only box.
  Do NOT type in a password in the Password to open box, or no one will be able to look at your document.
  Click on the Save button

Be sure to remember your password, or you won't be able to modify it.

All that being said, this won't prevent someone from selecting the entire text of your document, then copy/pasting it into a new document to modify as they wish. This isn't likely to happen with a resume you're submitting to someone.

Post back, if you need additional information.
