embedded documents in word 2007 and file permissions

[Mack]

Is there a way to set the file premissions in Word 2007 so a user can click
on an embedded file and have it open? I have word documents that are
embedded as icons within another word Document. If I have the document as
protected you cannot open the files by double clicking on them. Thanks.

Insert a continuous break before and after the link and then protect
the section OTHER than the one that contains the file. There are more
elegant ways to do it, but they require coding. This is the easiest
way to handle areas of a protected doc that require to be left
unprotected. When you protect the doc, be sure to click the SECTION
link and uncheck that section link of the doc.
