Hi all, wondered if you could help'



We have a handover sheet at work with a brief summary of all the patients on the ward. This sheet is a simple big table in a word doc. Unfortunately due to the general level of computer incompetence amongst my colleagues, the basic format of the table is constantly being completely trashed, rendering it unusable.

Is there a way of protecting the general format of the table, so they can only enter info to certain cells? I can do it in excell, but not word. When i suggest changing to excell, i get lynched!

Thanks

Yes, there is. On the "Developer" ribbon there is a "Restrict Editing" function in the "Protect" section of the ribbon. And, of course, there are online references that can assist you further. Some good links include:

There are other links as well but, these two are pretty good.

Hope this helps.
