    Could you show how to turn off the yellow highlight or change the colour of the editable section?

    You rock. I spent hours on a document trying to restrict certain sections for editing that was going to be sent to a team, but after watching your video in five minutes I had it done. Thank you!!!!!!

    Great, thanks so much. I have an issue though. The whole files turn into the Viewing mode and cannot be turned to Editing. Even though I can see the yellow fields with exceptions. Any suggestion on this? Thanks.

    I'm trying to do this for a template.
    Like the video describes, I want headers/footers locked, but:
    1. I want the entire area outside headers/footers unlocked for the first and subsequent pages.
    2. I don't want to have text there to make #1. happen.
    Wondering if anyone has a link or answer for how to do it. (Tested & confirmed only please)

    Hi Chester, this solution is almost perfect, except I need the user to be able to use the styles and formatting for the text they can edit. Is there any way to lock certain parts of a document (especially pictures and text boxes) while allowing people to edit and format text?

    Hi, how can I set up a formatting and style for different part of the word document (for example heading, bold times new roman 28, body text calibry 10, footnote calibry 8, table justied calibry 8 etc) in away when you paste sentences with different font, size, etc, it automatically changes to the default style set for that part of the document and one doesn't have to change it manually?

    Hi Chester, how can I highlight a text box and text outside the text box for editing simultaneously? When I hold down CTRL it deselects my text box. I want to be able to edit the text box + parts of a text outside the box.

  • @elizabethjames9441
    @elizabethjames9441 5 лет назад

    Thanks! Do you know how to pair this feature w/something like a form/dialog box that comes up when the document is opened? Have fields like Salutation/first name/last name/date/etc so that I don’t have to find where each piece needs to go every time and can just enter the appropriate info and trust that it populated in the correct places?

    Hi, I think this is great. Thank you so much. When I open it, it continues to show highlighted areas that can be edited. When I created it, I turned the highlight off and saved it, thinking it would not show when I opened it. Is there a way to open it without it showing the highlighted areas?

    What if I need to make some parts editable and give this outside public ( so I won't have a list of users), how can I do this or simply do the same thing? I am working on some legal forms that I want to sell to public.
    Can you a video on using Adobe and allow editing to some parts ?

  • @pschroeter1
    @pschroeter1 2 года назад

    Thank you, but this is a gigantic multi-step pain in the arse to use when I want to just make one block of text that I've copied over from somewhere else immune to my own editing macros and I'm not even sharing the document. I wish the process worked in reverse in you select the text you wan to protect and everything else is automatically editable. I would really like a way to just select some text and tag it read only.

  • @stonekingdominc5892
    @stonekingdominc5892 5 лет назад

    OK big problem for me. I have a fairly complex form. As I select sections on the form holding down the Ctrl Button it can only select a few before it will deselect everything I just selected above. HELP

    • @0berish
      @0berish 5 лет назад

      You can select sections and click "start protecting" and then you click "stop protecting" and select the other sections you want to protect. You can do this multiple times and the document will save all of them. You don't need to select all the sections with ctrl at the same time.

    hhmmm... I'm a dummy. I want to actually lock certain parts of the document the other way around. For example, I want to highlight parts I don't want editted rather than highlighting parts that can only be editted. How do we do that?
