Requesting some techy support again.

Does anyone know how I can make a file properly read-only? I'm trying to make a read-only Microsoft Word (XP) file at the moment but, although I've selected Recommend open as Read-Only and added a Password to Modify function, all I have to do is save it under a different name and I neatly and easily find my way around the barrier.

How can I make this safer?

Have your boss hire someone who has a clue?

Sorry. [Frown]

You know, I could never really understand why people on here hate Ralph so much. Until now, that is.

Dude, I've been helping lickapaw via email on an almost daily basis. I'm entitled to make a joke. Right, lickapaw?

Lickapaw?

Heh, that gif gives you a link to Dang's website. Good thing noone here is going to abuse his privacy, though.

I can't believe I just sat here for like, ten minutes reading his CV. I'll literally do anything to avoid working, it seems.

Also, pictures of YoungDang are pretty cool.

I've no doubt you would - but I think you'd have a laff first. And I wouldn't blame you. [Big Grin]

Dang and I have similar professional experience. And we're close in age. I bet we could have been friends under better circumstances. [Frown]

Fuck's sake ralph, have some respect. Those pics are from Dang's personal website, it's not for you to go posting them all over the internet. Jesus Christ.

I was out for drinks with the people I work with the other night and about half way through the evening one of the managers slurred into my ear that he'd personally persuaded them to employ me "even though they din' wan' take you on coz your website's shit, know wha' mean?" *hic*

It is pretty terrible actually. There's nothing goes out of date and looks naff quicker than a website.

Your photos are all really cool though Dang. That one from a holiday in Scotland looks like an advert or something, and the cycling and garden ones are ace too. [Smile]

Probably not worth bothering - it's frighteningly easy to get into a protected PDF.

How about an animated GIF, which scrolls the entire document text one character at a time?

What's the setup here Lickapaw? If you want a document that people can read but not edit the original then look no further than a web page. Save the Word Doc as HTML and stick it on your server. You can easily put a password on the page if you only want certain people to see it. They can view it in a browser, but they can't edit the content because it's on your server.

Is that any use, or would it be impractical in this case?
