Hi I am trying to create a letter template in word, which does not allow the user to move the margins or change the font. Does any one know how to do this. I've tried saving the document as a template, but people can still move the margins.

Unfortunately, there is no way to lock down the styles (margins, fonts, text-size, etc.) short of creating your template on a network folder and making it read-only but, that only protects the original. It doesn't keep the document from being saved and edited on a remote machine. If you want a document that no one can alter the appearance of, take a look at formsflow or edgeview. They take considerably more work to set up, however.

the best option is to create the document in word and export it as PDF using some third party software. In that case they cannot modify the document.
Again if you want to stick to word using password protection for altering.
