本教程将教您如何使用称为“(‘)限制编辑”的功能来保护您的(Restrict Editing)Microsoft Word文档的全部或部分内容。此功能使您可以将文档标记为“只读(Read Only)”，并且仍然允许对文档的某些选定部分进行编辑或更改。
限制编辑(Restrict Editing)会锁定文档中的某些行或句子，这些行或句子可能很重要或很敏感，因此任何人都无法编辑。这就是保护MS Word文档中存在的内容的方式。
(Protect Word)使用限制编辑(Restrict Editing)保护 Word文档
任何人都可以使用文档(parts in the document)中不受限制的部分，或者您可以只允许某些用户进行编辑或更改。您还可以选择保护整个文档并将其设为只读。让我们看看如何做到这一点。
首先，打开MS Word文档并单击“审阅”(‘Review’)选项卡。
选择您不希望应用限制编辑功能的句子。在这种情况下，我只选择了句子 1 和 2。如图所示，在“审阅”(Review)选项卡的“保护”(‘Protect’)组中，单击“限制编辑”(‘Restrict Editing’)。
限制编辑(Restrict Editing)对话框将打开。您将看到以下内容：
1]格式限制
此设置将格式限制为特定的格式或样式选择。您可以选择希望在文档中允许的样式。要应用此功能，请选中复选框。
2]编辑限制
在Editing Restrictions下，选中“仅允许在文档中进行此类编辑”的复选框。(Allow only this type of editing in the document.)
此外，单击下拉菜单并选择“无更改（只读）”选项。(‘No changes (Read Only)’.)除选定部分外，文档变为只读。您还可以选择其他选项，例如跟踪(Tracked)更改、评论和填写表单，具体取决于您希望允许的更改。
例外（可选）
此部分允许您选择可以自由编辑文档的用户。要允许任何人和所有人编辑文档的选定部分，请选中“所有人”(‘Everyone’)复选框。您也可以单独输入用户名，用分号分隔。
3]开始执行
要将所有这些设置应用于您的MS Word文档，请单击“是，开始强制执行保护”。(‘Yes, Start Enforcing Protection’.)
“开始实施保护”(‘Start Enforcing Protection’)对话框将打开。您将看到两种保护(Protection)方法——密码(Password)和用户身份验证。(User Authentication.)选择“密码”(‘Password’) 保护(Protection)方法，然后在给定的框中输入并重新输入生成的密码。按确定。(OK.)
要加密MS Word文档，以便只有经过身份验证的文档所有者才能取消保护，请单击“用户验证”。(‘User Authentication’.)
尖端：(Tips:)
- 使用(Use)包含大写、小写、字母、数字和符号组合的强密码。
- 确保(Make)将密码安全地保存在某个安全的地方。万一您忘记了密码，您将无法找回密码。
- 加密文档可防止其他用户同时处理文档。
如何解锁受保护的 Word 文档(Protected Word Document)
要从文档中删除所有保护，请单击“停止保护”(‘Stop Protection’)按钮。如果系统提示您输入密码，请输入密码。
注意：(Note:)要删除文档的所有保护，您必须知道应用于文档的密码。或者，您必须被列为文档的经过身份验证的所有者。为此，click on Review tab > Restrict Editing > Stop Protection.
这样，您可以使用“审阅”选项卡中的“限制编辑”功能来保护您的(‘Restrict Editing’)MS Word文档。
How to protect your Word document using Restrict Editing feature
Τhis tutorial will teach you how to protect thе entire or parts of your Microsoft Word document by using this feature called ‘Restrict Editing‘. This feature enables you to mark the document as ‘Read Only‘ and still allows edits or changes to the certain selected parts of the document.
Restrict Editing locks certain lines or sentences in the document, which could be important or sensitive, and thus, cannot be edited by anyone. This is how one can protect the content present in an MS Word document.
Protect Word document using Restrict Editing
The unrestricted parts in the document can be made available to anyone, or you can allow permission to certain users only to edit or make changes. You also have an option to protect the entire document and make it Read-Only. Let us see how this can be done.
To begin with, open the MS Word document and click on the ‘Review’ tab.
Select the sentences that you do not want the restrict editing feature to be applied. In this case, I have selected Sentences 1 and 2 only. In the Review tab, ‘Protect’ group, click on ‘Restrict Editing’ as shown in the image.
The Restrict Editing dialog box will open. You will see the following:
- Formatting Restrictions
- Editing Restrictions
- Exceptions
- Start Enforcement
1] Formatting Restrictions
This setting limits formatting to a certain selection of formats or styles. You can select the styles that you want to be allowed in the document. To apply this, select the checkbox.
2] Editing Restrictions
Under Editing Restrictions, select the checkbox that says – Allow only this type of editing in the document.
Further, click on the drop-down menu and choose the option ‘No changes (Read Only)’. The document becomes Read-Only except for the selected parts. You can also choose other options such as Tracked changes, Comments, and Filling in forms, depending on what changes you want to allow.
Exceptions (optional)
This section allows you to choose the users who can edit the document freely. To allow anyone and everyone to edit the selected part of the document, select the ‘Everyone’ checkbox. You can also separately enter user names, separated by a semi-colon.
3] Start Enforcement
To apply all these settings to your MS Word document, click on ‘Yes, Start Enforcing Protection’.
The ‘Start Enforcing Protection’ dialog box will open. You will see two Protection methods – Password and User Authentication. Select the ‘Password’ Protection method and enter and re-enter the generated password in the boxes given. Press OK.
To encrypt the MS Word document, so that only the authenticated owners of the document can remove the protection, click ‘User Authentication’.
Tips:
- Use strong passwords involving a combination of uppercase, lowercase, letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Make sure that you save the password safely in some secure place. In case, you forget the password, you will not be able to retrieve it.
- Encrypting the document prevents other users from working on the document at the same time.
How to Unlock the Protected Word Document
To remove all protection from the document, click on the ‘Stop Protection’ button. If you are prompted to enter the password, type in the password.
Note: To remove all protection from the document, you will have to know the password that was applied to the document. Or, you will have to be listed as an authenticated owner for the document. To do so, click on Review tab > Restrict Editing > Stop Protection.
In this way, you can protect your MS Word document by using the ‘Restrict Editing’ feature from the Review tab.
