Could you show how to turn off the yellow highlight or change the colour of the editable section?

[mariemorganhenry]

You rock. I spent hours on a document trying to restrict certain sections for editing that was going to be sent to a team, but after watching your video in five minutes I had it done. Thank

[soumyasbh]

The best video I saw on document restriction.

Many thanks for this wonderful explanation and demonstration of this particular function. Brief but absolutely to the point.

[rkreskoci]

Great, thanks so much. I have an issue though. The whole files turn into the Viewing mode and cannot be turned to Editing. Even though I can see the yellow fields with exceptions. Any suggestion on this? Thanks.

[martaaucote]

Hi, how can I set up a formatting and style for different part of the word document (for example heading, bold times new roman 28, body text calibry 10, footnote calibry 8, table justied calibry 8 etc) in away when you paste sentences with different font, size, etc, it automatically changes to the default style set for that part of the document and one doesn't have to change it manually?

[cesaralex]

Thank you very much for the video. Please if you can tell me how I can select only the paragraphs that correspond to a page of a file that has several pages. Thanks in advance.

[Velisus]

I'm trying to do this for a template.

Like the video describes, I want headers/footers locked, but:
1. I want the entire area outside headers/footers unlocked for the first and subsequent pages.
2. I don't want to have text there to make #1. happen.

Wondering if anyone has a link or answer for how to do it. (Tested & confirmed only please)

[hormozmehr]

It was perfect. short, and effective. THANKS
