Protect Section Break

Derek

I'm using a Section Break in a Word 2002 Template.

How do I stop (or at least hinder) the user from being
able to delete the section break?

Thanks in advance
Derek

Hi Suzanne

Thanks for your reply.

The article was very useful. I have managed to get the
first document working (although because the first item in
the document was a table - not text - I had to use table
positioning instead of paragraph spacing).

I've just started on my second document which has a large
picture in the header. I don't have the file, and no
matter what I do I end up losing the picture off the first
page.

eg. I turn off the section breaks and the picture
disappears.

I turn on "Different first page" and the picture
disappears.

I go to the second head and tell it to be the same as
previous. Then I remove the section breaks and turn on
Different first page. The picture is now only on the
second page.

If I copy the picture up the file size of the template
goes from 165kb to over 300kb (which is unacceptable). I
can't insert the picture because I don't have it. I can't
seem to save the picture from word into a file.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Derek

If you had the picture in the Header, you need to copy the Header, paste it
into the First Page Header, then delete the Header (or you could Cut and
Paste). If the file size is still unacceptable, try a Save As. Also make
sure that none of the other causes of file bloat are applicable:

1. Fast Saves: Disable this at on the Save tab of Tools | Options.

2. Preview Picture: Clear the check box on the Summary tab of File |
Properties.

3. Versions (File | Versions): Make sure "Automatically save version on
close" is not turned on.

4. Revisions (Tools | Track Changes):
Highlight Changes: Make sure "Highlight changes on screen" is turned on.
Accept/Reject Changes: If "Accept All" or "Reject All" is available then
revisions are present; accept or reject all changes, then turn Track Changes
off.

5. Embedded True Type fonts (Tools | Options | Save); embedding fonts should
be avoided wherever possible.

6. Embedded graphics: When feasible, it is preferable to link the graphics.

7. Document corruption: See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm.

You can force Word to save your graphic out as a separate file if you Save
as Web Page, but it will be converted to a GIF or JPEG, which may have lower
resolution, though you can control this to some extent with Web settings.

Thanks Suzanne

I thought that is what I tried the first time, but it
worked this time.

Thanks again
Derek
