Default Prevent Dragging Floating Objects

Hi All,

How absolutely prevent a floating object that is in the right place, from being draggable? I know about setting anchor points, but I am using publishing layout and everything is in the draw layer. I can lock my anchor, but it still makes my image drag-able. How do you prevent this? Can you simply lock a layer from being edited?



Thanks,
-Jamie

You can apply document protection, but note that it only makes editing a bit harder; with a bit of experience, protection can be easily circumvented. At least this applies to WinWord. You may want to ask in the MacWord community for MacWord-specific advice. Go to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/m...sc&tab=Threads.
