Any real Network Operating System (Netware, OS/2 Warp Server, Windows NT Server, etc) will have many levels of security to restrict read/write/delete access to files. If security is an issue, Windows for Workgroups, LANtastic, and other no-account "NOS's" (cheap or bundled pieces of software that claim to allow you to form a network) are NOT a solution. He'll have to spend the money to purchase a real NOS and implement it. For a small workgroup (less than 10 users), I recommend Netware Lite. For larger networks, Netware 4.1 and OS/2 Warp Server are very powerful and configurable. I don't recomment Windows NT for anyone who's never run a network. --- Maximus/2 2.02 * Origin: Outside the Wall BBS (410)788-9571 (1:261/1093) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 156 MS WORD Ref: DDJ00000 Date: 09/12/96 From: BETH FRIEDMAN Time: 09:54pm \/To: BOB DAVIS (Read 8 times) Subj: Re: Right to the Top BD> Word requires a section break to have different margin BD> settings.

It sounds like what you have installed is not a real network with appropriate permission management. In that case, I must assume this is some kind of "shoestring" operation. Sometimes a brute force, simple answer may go a long way to help these kinds of situations. How about setting all the documents as read-only using the dos ATTRIB command? We've done that for config.sys and autoexec.bat on user's PCs for years and its very effective. I use it on my own PC to prevent accidents caused by my own fat fingers.

He can set up a frame on the left hand side which starts 1.5" down and gives him the 2" he needs for the left margin. The page breaks at the end of the frame.
