Microsoft Word 预装^{(Microsoft Word comes preloaded)}了许多功能，可让您创建和编辑文档。其中一项功能可让您限制在Word中的编辑。当您启用该功能时，它会阻止任何人向您的文档中删除或添加内容，从而使它们保持不变。

有很多方法可以对您的文档应用限制，您可以使用适合您情况的方法。例如，如果您不希望任何人更改文档的格式，您可以启用格式限制。

在 Word 中限制编辑^{(Restrict Editing In Word)}

您可以在Word中限制对现有文档和新文档的编辑。只要您可以使用该应用打开文档，您就可以对其应用限制。

1. 双击^{(Double-click)}您的文档，它将在Word应用程序中打开。
2. 单击顶部显示“查看^(Review)”的选项卡以查找您正在寻找的限制选项。
3. 在以下屏幕上，单击保护^(Protect)并选择限制编辑^{(Restrict Editing)}以访问限制选项。

1. 您会在屏幕右侧看到一个新窗格。它允许您对文档应用各种类型的限制。首先^(Start)启用限制格式以选择样式^{(Limit formatting to a selection of styles)}选项并单击设置^(Settings)。

1. 屏幕上将打开一个框。在这里，您可以指定文档允许的格式样式，同时限制其他样式。勾选你想要保留的那些。
   
   您可以单击全部^(All)以选择所有格式选项或单击无^(None)以不选择它们。最后，单击确定^(OK)以保存更改。

1. 您可以应用的第二种限制类型是编辑限制。启用在文档中只允许这种类型的编辑^{( Allow only this type of editing in the document)}框，然后选择下拉菜单中给出的四个选项之一。
   
   如果要限制所有更改，请从菜单中选择无更改（只读）^{( No changes (Read only))}选项。

1. Word为您提供了一个选项，即使文档受到限制，您也可以允许某些人编辑您的文档。要使用它，请选择您希望为所选用户保留可编辑的文档部分。
2. 单击右侧窗格中例外（可选）^{(Exceptions (optional))}下的更多用户以选择允许对文档进行编辑的用户。^{(More users)}

1. 输入^(Enter)您希望允许编辑文档的用户名，然后单击OK。

1. 勾选^(Tick-mark)您刚刚在右侧窗格中添加的用户名。
2. 单击是，开始强制执行保护^{(Yes, Start Enforcing Protection)}以开始对您的文档应用限制。

1. 它会提示您输入密码以进行保护。您可以使用此密码稍后从文档中删除编辑限制。输入一个强密码，然后单击OK。

如果有人试图对文档进行更改，Word会阻止他们这样做，并且底部会出现一条消息，让他们知道文档受到保护。

在文档中查找可编辑部分^{(Find Editable Parts In The Document)}

如果您遇到了一个受限制的文档，但您知道其中应该有可以编辑的部分，Word可以让您在受保护的文档中相当容易地找到可编辑的部分。

只需单击几下，即可轻松找到文档中的所有可编辑部分。

1. 在Word^(Word)应用程序中启动您的文档。
2. 单击顶部的“评论”选项卡。^(Review)
3. 选择“保护^(Protect)”选项，然后选择“限制编辑^{(Restrict Editing)}” 。

1. 您将在屏幕上看到三个选项，所有这些选项都在下面进行了描述。
   
   查找下一个我可以编辑的区域^{(Find Next Region I Can Edit)}——它会在您的文档中找到下一个可编辑的部分。
   
   显示我可以编辑的所有区域^{(Show All Regions I Can Edit)}——它将显示文档中所有可以编辑的部分。
   
   突出显示我可以编辑的区域^{(Highlight the regions I can edit )}- 如果您勾选此项，文档中所有可以编辑的部分都将突出显示。

1. 您现在可以开始对可编辑区域进行更改。

删除 Word 中的编辑限制^{(Remove Editing Restrictions In Word)}

如果您不想再限制在Word中的编辑，您可以使用与应用限制相同的选项来执行此操作。

1. 在Word^(Word)应用中打开受限文档。
2. 单击顶部的查看选项。^(Review)
3. 在以下屏幕上选择保护^(Protect)，然后选择限制编辑。^{(Restrict Editing)}

1. 它会要求您输入密码。这样做并单击OK。

1. 应删除限制，您可以开始编辑文档。

如何使用密码和只读模式限制 Word 中的编辑^{(How To Restrict Editing In Word With Password & Read-Only Mode)}

上述功能是限制人们编辑文档的好方法。但是，正如您所看到的，它有点过于复杂，需要经过大约十几个步骤。

在Word^(Word)中限制编辑的另一种方法是使用密码保护您的文档。您可以添加密码，每次打开文档时都会提示您输入密码。您可以将其与只读模式结合使用，^{(combine it with read-only mode)}即使输入正确的密码，您也会收到提示，说明该文档仅用于阅读。

1. 在Word^(Word)应用程序中启动您的文档。
2. 单击顶部的文件菜单。^(File)
3. 左侧边栏中将出现几个选项。单击^(Click)显示信息^(Info)的选项以打开信息面板。

1. 在以下屏幕上，单击“保护文档”^{(Protect Document)}下的小向下箭头图标。

1. 从屏幕上可用的选项中选择始终以只读方式打开。^{(Always Open Read-Only)}

1. Word现在将始终以只读模式打开此特定文档。您将在屏幕上看到相同的确认消息。

1. 是时候用密码锁定您的文档了。为此，请单击Protect Document选项并选择Encrypt with Password。

1. 输入^(Enter)您要用来保护文档的密码，然后单击“确定^(OK)” 。

1. 它会要求您再次输入密码。这样做并点击OK。

1. 您的文档现在受密码保护，只有输入正确的密码才能打开。
2. 如果您需要禁用保护，请返回相同的Info菜单，单击Protect Document，然后选择Always Open Read-Only。

1. 再次单击Protect Document并选择Encrypt with Password。

1. 从密码^(Password)字段中删除所有内容，然后单击确定^(OK)。它将从您的文档中删除密码保护。

通过将文档标记为最终文档来阻止编辑^{(Discourage Editing By Marking Document As Final)}

Word具有一项功能，可让您将文档标记为最终文档。当您这样做时，您的文档将被视为最终版本，不允许对其进行进一步更改。

如果用户打开文档，他们会看到一条警告，说明该文档已被标记为最终状态。如果他们仍希望继续并编辑文档，他们可以单击一个选项来执行此操作。

此选项只是阻止人们编辑您的文档，实际上并不限制在Word中的编辑。

1. 当您的文档在Word中打开时，单击顶部的文件选项。^(File)
2. 从左侧边栏中的可用选项中选择信息^(Info)。

1. 单击右侧菜单上的Protect Document并选择^{(Protect Document )}Mark as Final。

1. 您将收到一条提示，说明该文档将被标记为最终文档，然后保存。单击^(Click)“确定^(OK)”继续。

1. 您将在屏幕上看到另一个提示，说明标记为最终的含义。单击^(Click)“确定^(OK)”继续。

1. 下次打开文档时，您会看到一条消息，说明该文档是最终的。如果您需要对其进行编辑，请单击“仍然编辑^{(Edit Anyway)}”按钮。

1. 要从文档中删除最终标签，请返回相同的Info菜单，单击Protect Document，然后选择Mark as Final选项。

在没有 Word 的文档中禁用编辑^{(Disable Editing In a Document Without Word)}

如果您出于某种原因不想使用Word启用限制，则有一种方法不需要它。它使用文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中的选项之一来阻止人们编辑您的文档。

1. 使用文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}找到您的 Word 文档，但不要打开它。
2. 右键单击您的文件并选择Properties。

1. 如果您还没有，请单击顶部的常规。^(General)
2. 您将看到一个标记为Read-only的复选框。勾选该框并单击Apply然后单击OK。

文件资源管理器已将您的文件设为只读，^{(File Explorer has made your file read-only)}这意味着人们可以阅读它但不能编辑它。

您是否限制在Word文档中进行编辑？如果是这样，您使用什么方法？在下面的评论中让我们和我们的读者知道。

How to Restrict Editing on Word Documents

Microsoft Word comes preloaded with many features to let you create and edit your documents. One of those features lets you restrict editing in Word. When you enable the feature, it prevents anyone from being able to remove or add content to your documents thus making them remain intact.

There are many ways to apply restrictions to your documents and you can use what’s appropriate for your situation. For example, you can enable formatting restrictions if you don’t want anyone to change the formatting of the document.

Restrict Editing In Word

You can restrict editing for both your existing as well as new documents in Word. As long as you can open a document with the app, you can apply restrictions to it.

1. Double-click on your document and it’ll open in the Word app.
2. Click on the tab that says Review at the top to find the restrictions option that you’re looking for.
3. On the following screen, click on Protect and select Restrict Editing to access the restrictions option.

1. You’ll see a new pane appearing on the right-hand side of your screen. It lets you apply various types of restrictions to your document. Start by enabling the Limit formatting to a selection of styles option and clicking on Settings.

1. A box will open on your screen. Here, you can specify what formatting styles are to be allowed for your document while restricting the others. Tick-mark the ones you want to keep.
   
   You can click on All to select all formatting options or None to select none of them. Finally, click on OK to save the changes.

1. The second restriction type you can apply is editing restrictions. Enable the box that says Allow only this type of editing in the document and then choose one of the four options given in the dropdown menu.
   
   If you want to restrict all changes, choose the No changes (Read only) option from the menu.

1. Word gives you an option where you can allow certain people to edit your document even if it’s been restricted. To use it, select the part of your document that you want to keep editable for your chosen users.
2. Click on More users under Exceptions (optional) on the right-hand side pane to select users who’re allowed to make edits to the document.

1. Enter the usernames you want to allow to edit your document and click on OK.

1. Tick-mark the username you just added in the right-hand side pane.
2. Click on Yes, Start Enforcing Protection to start applying restrictions to your document.

1. It’ll prompt you to enter a password for protection. You can use this password to later remove editing restrictions from the document. Enter a strong password and click on OK.

If anyone tries to make a change to the document, Word will prevent them from doing so and a message will appear at the bottom letting them know the document is protected.

Find Editable Parts In The Document

If you’ve come across a restricted document but you know there should be parts in it that you can edit, Word lets you find the editable parts in a protected document fairly easily.

You can easily find all the editable parts in your document with a few clicks.

1. Launch your document in the Word app.
2. Click on the Review tab at the top.
3. Select the option that says Protect and choose Restrict Editing.

1. You’ll see three options on your screen all of which are described below.
   
   Find Next Region I Can Edit – it finds the next editable part in your document.
   
   Show All Regions I Can Edit – it’ll show all the parts in your document that can be edited.
   
   Highlight the regions I can edit – if you tick-mark this, all the parts that can be edited in your document will be highlighted.

1. You can start making changes to the editable regions now.

Remove Editing Restrictions In Word

If you no longer want to restrict editing in Word, you can do it using the same option you used to apply the restrictions.

1. Open your restricted document in the Word app.
2. Click on the Review option at the top.
3. Select Protect followed by Restrict Editing on the following screen.

1. On the right-hand side pane, at the very bottom of your screen, you’ll find an option saying Stop Protection. Click on it to remove restrictions from your document.

1. It’ll ask you to enter your password. Do so and click on OK.

1. Restrictions should be removed and you can start editing the document.

How To Restrict Editing In Word With Password & Read-Only Mode

The above feature is a great way to restrict people from editing your documents. But, as you can see, it’s a bit too complex and requires going through about a dozen steps.

Another way to restrict editing in Word is to password protect your document. You can add a password and your document will prompt you for it each time you open it. You can combine it with read-only mode and you’ll get a prompt saying the document is only meant to be read even after entering the correct password.

1. Launch your document in the Word app.
2. Click on the File menu at the top.
3. Several options will appear in the left sidebar. Click on the one that says Info to open the info panel.

1. On the following screen, click on the small down arrow icon under Protect Document.

1. Select Always Open Read-Only from the options available on your screen.

1. Word will now always open this particular document in read-only mode. You’ll see a confirmation message for the same on your screen.

1. It’s time to lock your document with a password. To do it, click on the Protect Document option and select Encrypt with Password.

1. Enter the password you want to protect your document with and click on OK.

1. It’ll ask you to enter your password again. Do so and hit OK.

1. Your document is now protected with a password and it’ll only open if you enter the correct password.
2. If you ever need to disable protection, go back to the same Info menu, click on Protect Document, and choose Always Open Read-Only.

1. Click on Protect Document again and select Encrypt with Password.

1. Remove everything from the Password field and click on OK. It’ll remove password protection from your document.

Discourage Editing By Marking Document As Final

Word has a feature that lets you mark a document as final. When you do it, your document is considered to be the final version and no further changes are allowed to be made to it.

If a user opens the document, they’ll see a warning saying the document has been marked as final. If they still wish to proceed and edit the document, they can click on an option to do it.

This option is only to discourage people from editing your document and it doesn’t actually restrict editing in Word.

1. While your document is open in Word, click on the File option at the top.
2. Select Info from the options available in the left sidebar.

1. Click on Protect Document on the right-hand side menu and select Mark as Final.

1. You’ll get a prompt saying the document will be marked as final and then saved. Click on OK to continue.

1. You’ll see another prompt on your screen describing what marking as final means. Click on OK to continue.

1. The next time you open the document, you’ll see a message saying the document is final. If you need to edit it, click on the Edit Anyway button.

1. To remove the final tag from your document, head back to the same Info menu, click on Protect Document, and select the Mark as Final option.

Disable Editing In a Document Without Word

If you don’t want to use Word to enable restrictions for some reason, there’s a method that doesn’t require it. It uses one of the options in File Explorer to prevent people from editing your document.

1. Locate your Word document using File Explorer but don’t open it.
2. Right-click on your file and select Properties.

1. Click on General at the top if you aren’t already there.
2. You’ll see a checkbox labeled as Read-only. Tick-mark the box and click on Apply followed by OK.

File Explorer has made your file read-only meaning people can read it but they can’t edit it.
