Word displays the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane.
So no matter how much time you've devoted to getting your document just so, the last thing you want is another person running roughshod over your careful look and layout.įortunately, Word offers the capability to lock your document's formatting, which prevents others from changing the formatting unless they know the password. Whether you think of such activity as 'frittering' depends on your point of view, but we all agree that a well-formatted document makes a better impression than a plain or sloppy-looking one. Like most modern word processors, Word fits into the category of fritterware-programs with so many formatting bells and whistles that you can end up frittering away hours and hours by tweaking fonts, colors, alignments, and so on.
