Is there a way to lock documents in some way, so that direct formatting is disallowed and only styles work? Not that we could truly lock a document, but at least having some sort of header that lists allowed features, such that one would get a warning whenever they veered off course?
- chongli 3y agoSometimes direct formatting is the correct choice, such as when applying bold or italics to individual words or sentences within a paragraph. Making a separate style for those is lunacy!
- _Algernon_ 3y agoDon't think such fine grained control exists. There is read only mode[1], which (I assume) limits the reader to only comment.
