Re: disabling Word features

There is software out there designed to turn a computer into an exam-friend=
ly word processor, but unfortunately I don't recall the name. It's not fre=
e, but it really locks down the PC to prevent many functions, including cut=
/paste.

There is no native Windows way of restricting copy/paste functions, as they=
're OS level. You can restrict grammar and spelling tools using Group Poli=
cy. You'll need to load the ADM templates available from the Office Resour=
ce Kit.
