What you're doing isn't quite clear - too little information. Are you talking about locking the document that results from the mail merge? Or something else?

Convert it to PDF format. There are free PDF Converters such as PrimoPDF

me please. I just need some1 to help me to prevent users from editing the word document only. Keeping in mind that what Graham says is quite true... You can provide protection against *accidental* changes by activating FORMS protection (Tools/Protect document) with a password. In Word 97 there is NO protection that is securer - and this is NOT very secure.
