Go through your entire home folder and remove ALL the plists that have *anything* to do with word or office for that matter. Make sure you also remove the 'microsoft user data' or something along those lines in your home documents folder as well.Works every time I need to fix that when I'm at work. Let me know how it goes!

Tools > Protect Document.  Choose Forms radial button, and enter a password.  You have to have set form boxes in the places for them to fill out their information.  The rest of the document outside of those form boxes will be protected.  Check the help files in Word for additional information.  It is all there.

If you want lock entire drive then go to dos prompt\ntype LOCK C it will lock ur c: and UNLOCK C it will release the drive however this features was avaible upto winme only.\n\nif u want to lock some file or folder jus go to dos and then\ntype ren oldfilename.extension oldfilename(Hold Alt key and then type any figure from 1-254).extension\n\nit will lock ur file. to unlock reverse the procedure.\n\nHowever till i rem. if partition is on FAT then this is supported NTFS does not support it. for NTFS u need to use Microsoft Locking for drive access (availble in services)\n\nHope that u will not lock ur ur any crucial file of OS

I have office 2000 pro and when i click on the help, the office assistant shows, i typed in how do i lock a column and this is what i got... \n\nSpecify which cells can be changed after a worksheet is protected\nTo unlock cells so that they can be changed, the worksheet must not be protected. For information about removing protection from a worksheet, click .\n\nSelect the cell range you want to unlock. \nHow? \n\nOn the Format menu, click Cells, and then click the Protection tab.\n\n\nClear the Locked check box. \nNote   After you protect the worksheet, the cells that you unlocked in this procedure are the only cells that can be changed. \n\nTip   To move between unlocked cells on a protected worksheet, click an unlocked cell, and then press TAB.  \n\ni imagine it would be similar in 2003, try the help menu and see if you get a better answer\n\nalso try the links below

(If you can't understand this, sorry. I will not go into extensive support and detail)\n\nA way to make a file completely corrupted to everyone but those who know this trick, is this:\n\nOpen a DOS window\nNavigate to the file you want to lock\nType: "rename <nameoffile> <nameoffileZZZ>\nInstead of typing ZZZ, after you type the name of the file, hold down alt and then (on your numpad) press 0255.\nHit enter\nNow, in windows, your file will look like "<nameoffile>..." and attempting to open, delete, or otherwise do anything to it will not work. The only way you can use it again is to go back to dos, and type "rename <nameoffileZZZ> <nameoffile>". The file will then become usable. I don't know if it works on XP, but it should.\n\nGood luck.

Go to \n\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010983881033.aspx\n\nThis is information on how to get rid of all the changes.  Once you have approved them all, you should be able to close the document and re-open it and changes will no longer be tracked.\n\nI had this problem last week and this solved it for me.

Go to the end of the first page and hit the delete button until you have one page. Let me know if it worked :)\n\nAnother option would be to just copy and paste what you have into a new word document :)

To lock the keyboard of your Microsoft Windows computer, hold down the Windows icon key and press the L key. \n\nYou must also put a password on your screensaver in case you forget to lock your computer before leaving your office. After the screensaver kicks in, your password will once again be required before anyone can gain access. \n\nOn Windows XP computers, here's how to set the screensaver to require a password: \n\nClick Start, Control Panel, and Display. \n\nSelect the Screen Saver tab. In the "Screen saver" section, choose a screensaver (if you don't have one), and the wait time before the screensaver activates. \n\nCheck mark the On resume, password protect box. \n\nSet the Wait to 15 minutes.\n\nAt the bottom, click the Apply button. \n\nYour screensaver password will be the same as your log-in password. \n\nThese settings may vary based on the Windows version being used, how the computer is configured, and if a different screensaver is installed. (For example, Windows XP computers with the default "Category View" must click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, then Choose a Screen Saver.)

When you are ready to save your document, click on "save as," and then a window box will appear.  Click on the "tools" pull down menu in that window box, and then select "general options."  Here you will find a spot to put in a password for "password to open" and "password to modify."  Put a password in each box, and then hit enter.  (Do yourself a favor, and use the same password for each box.)  It will prompt you to enter the passwords again.  Then SAVE your document.  That's it.  Now no one will be able to either OPEN or LOOK at your document without the secret password.  (The other two prior answers are incorrect.)

In Windows, press Alt+3 (and let go). The three has to be on the numeric pad (on the right side of the keyboard), and num lock doesn't matter.\n\n☺☻♥♪♫
