Create restriction exceptions

NOTE Select non-adjacent ranges in the document by holding down the [Ctrl] key while you select the separate text areas. Quickly select all text in the document with the same style applied, by opening the Styles task pane from the Styles group launcher arrow on the Home tab. Choose the list arrow for the desired style and select the Select All x Instance(s) option. After the text is selected, use the Restrict Editing task pane to apply the exceptions. It is advisable to use strong passwords that comprise eight or more characters. Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords are case sensitive.
