Restricting Access to Microsoft Office 2010 Documents

Have you ever needed to email a document, but also wanted to ensure that no changes were made to it as well? Microsoft office has a lot of options when it comes to restricting access to your documents.

First click the File tab, click Info, and then select Permissions. Go down and click on Restrict Editing. That will close the back screen and return you to your Home view with the Restricting Editing Menu open on the right side of your screen.  Here you can customize exactly what kind of changes you would like to allow.  This is also where you can limit who is allowed and not allowed to make changes.
