Hi!

I have basic knowledge in Word and i'm wondering about some of the functionalities.

If i'm creating a template in word for a report, is there some way to hand out permissions to some users to edit one part of the document, and for other users to endorse the same field.

For example: I'm filling out a report for a customer, and before it's done my boss needs to review the document and authorize it. And for example klick in a check box which locks the whole document for further editing.

Can you create this with some sort of button? Is it possible to do?
I know how to make certain users available to edit certain parts of a document but need to know if some else can endorse so it becomes visible that the document is approved

Check out Word's Editing Restrictions options. That can be used to designate who may edit what parts of a document. As for locking, the person who is to do that could changes the restrictions to 'filling in forms' - and apply a password, if they wish.

Thanks!

Although i'm having some issues handing out permissions to my co-workers.

I'm trying to hand out permissions to one of my co-workers and I understand I have to add him as a user. I know how to add him but the system can't find him when his added. I've tried adding his email(which is linked to his Office account).

But when i send the document to him he can't change the field as he should be able to do. That's my problem now.

When I restrict editing with exceptions, I make the exceptions apply to everyone and just send it to the person I want to be able to edit it.
