Hi how could I protect parts of my document so that they cannot be edited.
I find lots of information on the net to telling how to "ALLOW" editing for parts of the document buy selecting the part you want to make editable.



Please note that I am looking at the reverse method.
How can I select (highlight) a particular paragraph and make that selection
"Uneditable" ?

Yes you can protect your document from being edited.

You can turn off editing for the entire document easily using the Restrict Editing button under the Developer Tab. Before this, you select the things you want to be editable and make them exceptions.
