How to set a Word document to 'non-editable' mode?

php editor Baicao teaches you how to set a Word document to "non-editable" mode. In a Word document, you can use the "Protected" function to set the document to read-only status to prevent others from editing or modifying the document. This setting can effectively protect the content integrity of the document and make your document more secure and reliable.

The Word document comes with the option to set restricted protection, which can be set through [Restrict Editing] under the [Review] option in the menu.

After clicking [Restrict Editing], a new page will pop up on the right side of the document. You can select [Formatting Restrictions] or [Editing Restrictions] as needed. Under the options, you can also select more detailed restriction options.

For example, in [Restrict Editing], you can select [Do not allow any changes (read-only)], or only restrict [Modification].

After selecting, click [Yes, start forced protection] at the bottom of the page above, and then a dialog box will pop up. Enter and reconfirm the password you want to set, and Word's "Restricted Editing" will be set.

Depending on the scope of the restriction, you can see that the editing related options of the Word document are all gray and cannot be clicked, printed or saved.

If the Word document no longer needs protection, or if we need to edit it ourselves, we can remove the protection.

Similarly select [Review]-[Restrict Editing] in the menu.

A new page appears on the right side of the document, click [Stop Protection] below, then in the pop-up dialog box, enter the originally set password, click [OK], the "Restricted Editing" of the Word document will be cancelled, and You can edit it.

As can be seen from the above, you need to enter a password to cancel the "restricted editing" in the Word document. If you are worried about forgetting the password, we can set the "read-only mode".

When a Word document is in "read-only mode", the document content can be edited and modified, but the original document cannot be saved directly, which can be regarded as protecting the document content.

The setting is also very simple. Click the [File] option of the Word document, then click [Information] - [Protect Document] - [Always open as read-only], and the "read-only mode" is set.

No password is required to cancel "read-only mode". According to the set path, click [File] - [Information] - [Protect Document] - [Always Open in Read-Only Mode] again to cancel.

Of course, even if the Word document has "restriction protection" set up and you forget the password later, don't worry. We can try other tools. Take the Pepsi Niu Word Password Recovery Tool as an example. Select the [Unrestriction] module to directly Remove restrictions on Word documents, no need to enter password.
