How to set a Word file so that it cannot be edited?

php editor Xinyi teaches you how to set Word files as read-only to prevent others from modifying the content. In Word, click "File" > "Info" > "Save As" > "Browse" > select the "Read Only" option. Save the file in a read-only format to effectively prevent others from editing it. After this setting, other people will not be able to edit the file when they open it, ensuring that the document content is safe from tampering.

Today, let’s talk about two methods to set the Word file so that it cannot be edited.

method one:

Set a permission password for Word files so that operations such as editing and copying cannot be performed.

First, open the Word document, and then click [Restrict Editing] in the toolbar [Review];

.

In the new window, check the type of restriction editing, or you can select both, and then click [Start restriction protection];

.

In the [Start Restricted Protection] dialog box, enter the password twice. After confirmation, the Word file will have a permission password set and cannot be edited.

.

This restriction can also be removed at any time, still select [Restrict Editing] in the toolbar [Review];

.

For files with restrictions set, click [Restrict Editing] and you will be prompted that the document is protected. Select [Stop Protection] below, enter the password again, and press OK. The permission password will be removed.

.

If the permission password is set for a long time, be sure to save the password, because if you forget the password, you will not be able to remove the restricted password according to the above operation.

But if you really forget it, don’t worry. It’s just that we need to use one more tool to solve it. You can try the Pepsi Niu Word password recovery tool. You can directly lift the restrictions without entering the password.

Just select the [Unrestriction] module in the toolbar, import the Word file, and click OK to complete the removal.

Converting Word files to PDF format is also a way to protect Word from editing.

Open the Word file, select [Export] in [File], and click [Create PDF Document] on the right;

In the new dialog box, click [Publish], and the Word file will be created as a new PDF file.
