I just want to know is there a way of locking a MS-Word files author, while keeping the document editable. in MS-Word 2007

currently

you crate a document save the document right click on the document and go to properties go to summary tab it shows the 'author' of the file and it can be editable.

what I want to do is, lock the author property where nobody can change its value. But I want to allow others to Edit my document content.

hope my question is clear

thanks in advance

cheers

Wouldn't that mean that the author couldn't be changed after it has been set once? Aren't people that edit your document authors too? – MOnsDaR Oct 21 '10 at 14:48
Hi MOnsDaR, Yes agreed, but the problem is one of my friend has a problem, when he creates a document and send it to his supervisor , he sends it to the management as if the supervisor did it. (without changing a single word) just to show off :D - thanks - sameera – sameera207 Oct 21 '10 at 14:55
