Word 2010 - Styles Ribbon Behaviour When Saving Protected Doc/Dot
Open a new document.
Create 2 text boxes
Link them
Enter some text
All the while it is possible to use the Styles ribbon to change the formatting in the text boxes.
Now Restrict Formatting and Editing by
Formatting restrictions -> Limit formatting to a selection of styles
Editing Restrictions -> Allow only No Change (Read only)
Select entered text
Exceptions -> Groups Everyone
Start Enforcement - Click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection and enter password
It is still possible to use the Styles ribbon to change the formatting in the text boxes.
Now save the document
The Styles ribbon grays out and it is no longer possible to use the Styles ribbon to change the formatting in the text boxes.
Even if you close and re-open the document or break the link the Styles ribbon stays grayed out.
If you Stop and Start protection the Styles ribbon is no longer grayed out and if there is a legacy textbox within the document by clicking it the Styles ribbon is no longer grayed out.
Please can someone explain what is the issue and a way round it.
