Protecting a file from editing changes

Post by eirikharris »

Is there a setting somewhere in Mellel to lock a file and prevent it from being changed/edited? I want to be able to open up long files, search in them, copy from them, etc. without worrying that I'll accidentally delete some text. I guess I'm looking for something like Word's Protect Document feature that allows you to set a document to "read only".

Thanks!

The drop down arrow nxte to the filename (at the top of the document window) has a checkbox to make the file "locked". Is this what you are looking for?

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks! I figured it would be something quite simple like that!
