Locking my document

[Adopt a Pot]

How do I lock a Microsoft Doument so that no one can change it and when I email it to someone the dotted lines are not there?

I would recommend creating a PDF file, using Adobe Acrobat or one of the
free alternatives (such as PrimoPDF - www.primopdf.com)

That's what I was going to post but I was certain someone would jump on my
case about having responded that way.

JoAnn your verbal diarrhoea rearing its head again!!!

Is there no permanent cure for your malaise???

Well, I had scanned it to Adobe but it changed the document size from 486KB to 1MB which is too large for me to email.

How on earth did you scan a Pub document into Acrobat?

Rather than scan the document in and save the resultant file as a .pdf,
download PrimoPDF and create the .pdf directly from that program. You'll
find your file is smaller than the original. (Ijuat did a test on a 1+MB
file. The .pdf created with Primo is now 73KB.)

Can you scan animated graphics?

Scanning a document to make a PDF file is the least efficient way of doing
it.
It sounds like you may have used Adobe Photoshop or another Adobe product to
do this, rather than Adobe Acrobat.
If you do have Adobe Acrobat, then to create a PDF file from a Publisher
document, you go to File > Print and select the "Adobe PDF" or "Acrobat
Distiller" driver as the "printer" that you're printing to. Nothing will
come out of your printer, and you won't need to use paper. You will be
prompted for a filename for your PDF.
If you don't have Adobe Acrobat, then as others have suggested, download
PrimoPDF, install it, and then go File > Print in Publisher and select the
PrimoPDF "printer".
