Locking A Field

Scenario:

There is a time sensitive document.  It is about to be filed with the court.  The TOC, TOA are done and are exactly the way the Partner wants it to look.  There may have been some manual manipulation or style modification to the TOC and TOA.

Either way, he wants the TOC and TOA locked down while he has paralegals and others giving the document a last look.  He does not want someone rerunning these headings without his okay.  Get it?  That is the scenario.  How do we lock the field.  

There may be times when you want to make sure a field does not get updated. You can accomplish this by locking the field. Locking prevents a field from being updated; the last result is kept until you unlock the field and then update it. To lock a field, perform these steps:

1. Select the field you want to lock.
2. Update the field, if desired, by pressing Shift+F9.
3. Press Ctrl+F11.

If you later want to unlock the field, follow these steps:

1. Select the field you want to unlock.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F11
