Is there a way to lock the margins in Word?
in [Page Layout]

From: Deirdre on 14 Apr 2010 13:49 Hello, I've created an electronic version of the company stationary and I'd like to lock the margins so they cannot inadvertently be altered to invade the white space of the corporate logo that resides in the left hand margin mid-way down the page. If there is no way of locking the margins - is there any way of allowing the end user to edit the body of the document only and not touch the margins, headers, footers?
From: macropod on 14 Apr 2010 19:58 Hi Deirdre, You could insert a macro like the following into the document's template: Private Sub FilePageSetup() MsgBox "Sorry, that option is not allowed with this document", vbExclamation End Sub The above macro intercepts the File>PageSetup action. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Deirdre" <Deirdre(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5A473C52-7474-4D0C-A65E-11431716153E(a)microsoft.com... > Hello, I've created an electronic version of the company stationary and I'd > like to lock the margins so they cannot inadvertently be altered to invade > the white space of the corporate logo that resides in the left hand margin > mid-way down the page.

From: Graham Mayor on 15 Apr 2010 00:47 If you put the logo in the header view of the pages on which it is supposed to appear in a borderless text box that occupies the full height of the page and set the wrap of that text box to 'square', then even if the users changed the margin, the text would not invade the space occupied by the text box. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Deirdre" <Deirdre(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5A473C52-7474-4D0C-A65E-11431716153E(a)microsoft.com... > Hello, I've created an electronic version of the company stationary and > I'd > like to lock the margins so they cannot inadvertently be altered to invade > the white space of the corporate logo that resides in the left hand margin > mid-way down the page.

From: macropod on 15 Apr 2010 03:11 Hi Suzanne, True. I suppose one could use a macro that taps into the DocumentBeforePrint event to force the page setup back to what it's supposed to be. That'd fix 'em. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Suzanne S.
