Is it possible to restrict users from resizing the cells of a table in protected documents in MS Word 2010? I want to restrict them from making any changes to the layout of the table (or, at least, to restrict them from changing the width of columns).
I have tried playing with the settings from the restrictions menu, but to no avail...

Have you tried using a specific table style and then restricting editing to that style? – Rhys Gibson – 2012-10-01T00:38:24.490
How is it protected; track changes, no changes, fill in forms? The only one which allows for table changes is the "track changes" option. The other options for protection should not allow table resizing. – CharlieRB – 2012-10-01T14:47:02.770
Basically, as an example, I want to prevent other users from changing the width of the cells of a table. I understood that I need to turn on document protection for this, but I have no idea what I need to do next. – Mihai Todor – 2012-10-01T17:51:55.097
1When protection is turned on, can you change the table? You should not be able to if you have selected any of the protection options beside "track changes". – CharlieRB – 2012-10-02T14:51:30.457
OK, I redid a tutorial on this, and I managed to do it. – Mihai Todor – 2012-10-02T16:52:54.033
