From: Chris on
Our company has word documents that we use as templates on a fileserver. How
could I protect the documents so that when they open them, they dont make
changes to the server version, but save their OWN version and do what they
want?
From: Stefan Blom on
First of all, make use of true *template* files (with the *.dot or *.dotx
extension). Also, assign the template files the read-ony attribute.
