Default Locking/imbedding text

I do the proofing for a few magazines with all stories sent to me in Word docs. After proofing/editing the first time, I always add "PROOFED1/date/DC (my initials)" at the top to show that I proofed the story for the first time on that date, allowing me to keep track of things. However, when a story is updated or changed by the client and I receive the story back for a second proofing, the "PROOFED1/date/DC" at the top is always deleted. That info needs to remain so I can keep track of the process.

How can I place the PROOFED info at the top so no one can delete it?

I can use Header/Footer and hope not many people know how to delete headers, but I can't count on that.



I could also use a watermark, but those can be deleted as well by anyone who knows Word.

Default solution

You could always put your 'PROOFED' info in the Document Properties - A) very few people look there, B) Even if they did, I doubt they'd delete it even then!

Word 2003 - File > Properties > Summary
Word 2007 - Office Button > Prepare > Properties

That should get round the issue easily enough!
