I want to lock a document so the formatting does not change when opened at the recipients end.

At the moment all my nice tabbing etc gets all messed up when being opened by a recipient.

is there a way of locking the document so nothing changes?

thank you for any help

This sounds like a compatibility issue with whatever program/version your recipient is using and the format the files were sent in. We need more information to be able to help.

What version are you using?
What program/version is the recipient using?
What format are you sending files in?

If you want to prevent editing than export the file as PDF.
