How do I lock individual pages in a long document?

In creating a long document (50 or so pages) how can I lock pages that are
already editted so that a change on page 15 will not affect how pages 16, 14
and 13 were formatted and laid out??

You can't. Word is a document editor, not a page editor. However, its layout
routines are always forward-looking, so a change on page 15 will not affect
pages 13 or 14 unless there are cross-references.

Start a new section (Insert Section Break) after page 14. Set
Headers/Footers to not be same as Previous, & be careful what you
answer when Apply To is a choice.

OR
Rip out pages 1 - 14 and put them in a new document. Create
separate documents for while you work on them. Set the starting
page # correctly for each document.

There is no foolproof way.

It can't really be done in any foolproof way.
