The difference is that instead of displaying the file’s contents There is, unfortunately, no way around such behavior with Word documents.“Any file that can be read can be copied.”Īs far as the computer is concerned, a copy is really just one kind of read In Word, document protection will only provide protection for those who decide to "play nice." There are ways around the protection-the most notable of which is that an editor can simply copy all of the text from the edited document into a new document and start passing around that new document as if it were the original document. There is, of course, a big caveat to all of this, and it bears repeating any time people start to talk about protection. Further, nobody can accept or reject changes without knowing the original password used to protect the document. With this protection in place, people can view and edit your document with the changes being shown as regular Track Changes edits.
What you need to do is to protect the document so that only tracked changes can be made by other editors. Vikas wonders if there is a way that Track Changes can be locked so that only the original author can turn it off and a way that only the original author can accept/reject changes. Unfortunately, it is possible for other people to turn off Track Changes or to accept/reject changes done by others who previously worked on the document. The original author of the document turns on Track Changes, and then sends the document to others. Vikas has a document on which many people in his office work.
