These documents are invoices and stock tables - so thats the last thing she should be doing.
Is there a way to force any documents saved to be 'read-only' - so that she is forced to save any file she alters as a fresh copy?
Shes using office2007
Thank you

You could put a button on the template with a macro behind it to perform the save for her. In this way you can apply a password to modify forcing the new document to effectively be Read Only.
Happy to write the macro for you if you think that might help, but start by looking at the VBA command Workbook.SaveAs and using the WriteResPassword switch.
