Enterprise PDM and MS Word

Ajay Baranwal Jan 18, 2010 2:30 AM

Dear All,

I m working on a template in epdm 2010 in which every variable is comes from the MS Word file. Everything is running smoothly.

But the problem is can i restrict this word file modification with the EPDM login name. Please note i have several column in word sheet and i want to give specific column to specific user for the modification. No one can change others column value.

Here every one have the checkout rights on this word file

Enterprise cannot set security internal to a file.
However, if you were using Excel, I do know that protection can be set up for ranges, with permissions being determined by the Windows user logged in. Word appears to have the same granularity, under Tools | Protect Document..., although, I admit, I've not used it, so far.

Let us know if it works for you.

  Dear Calvin
  
  My question is can we correlate the word file property with the EPDM user login name.
  Here everyone will have the authority to check out the file. but column or row will only be editable by the specific user login.
  
  Thanks
