Is there a way to permanently locke a position? No unlocking possible?

I have created a template in InDesign which our company uses to create "Job Sheets" for Architectural projects that we have completed.
At times, there are multiple people who use these templates.
To ensure that our Job Sheets are consistent, we like to lock certain image frames and text boxes.
It is very important that these objects not be moved because we create many Job Sheets and they all must be consistant.
We want the user to be able to change photos and text, but not the position and size of the text boxes and image frames.
I know that we can lock the position of these objects, but anyone can just as easily unlock them.
We want them to be locked either permanently, or to be locked with a password.
I don't think this is possible based on the research I have done.
But, can someone suggest an alternative that will accomplish the same thing?

Anyone who can’t follow simple directions such as “don’t unlock that frame position” needs to be better trained or fired.
IOW, what you want to do can’t be done.

  • Is there a way to permanently lock in a start up page, why not?

    Seems like every time I install a new program, or Add-on, my start-up page, and most often search preference, gets changed.

    Hey, toddy_victor. Saw your post and read the articles. Nice Work!!

  • Is there any way to permanently disable(not usable) your iPod touch while you still have it?

    Is there any way to permanently disable Itouch 4th gen

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.

  • Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

    Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display. 
    I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
    This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

    Same question.
    I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
    This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
    Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
    To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

  • Is there a way to permanently set a font in pages?

    The default font in pages is Helvetica.  Every time I start a new document, I have to change it to Times New Roman.  Is there a way to permanently set the font as Times New Roman so that I do not have to do it every time.  Thanks.

    You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. Insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them.
    Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

    Modify the New Document Profile you use the most to reflect what you want it to contain or just make a new document with all the stuff and save it with a distinct name to the New Document Profiles folder in your user profile.

  • After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    After installing FF 5.0 I am receiving a list of incompatible Add-Ons. I go into 'Extensions' and click to remove them, exit FF and lauch FF again, the same incompatible add-ons list appears. Is there a way to permanently remove the old Add-ons?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • Is there a way to permanently move all my iPhoto movies to iMovie?

    Is there a way to permanently move all my iPhoto movies to iMovie? 
    Also is there a way to view them as a movie in iPhoto?
    I have a lot and can't see what I've got and if I want to delete them.

    I don't know of a quick way, but I might think about it like this.
    1) Create a Smart Album in iPhoto that contains only movies.
    2) Right-click on each one and choose Reveal in Finder. Make a copy and paste it in a folder where you an find it.
    3) Import these movies into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE
    4) Go back and delete the movies from ipHoto. You can also delete that Finder folder you made as an intermediate step.

  • Is there a way to permanently block a specific open wifi network?

    Is there a way to permanently block a specific open wifi network?

    Well, the only workaround is if you get along with your neighbors and they're understanding of what you want to accomplish, not to mention they should password protect their wifi access as well.  This of course depends on the density of your surrounding neighborhood. 
    Start with checking the WiFi strength from your phone in their room.  If you're getting 4 solid bars it's likely your next door neighbor, and of course weaker would be farther (Help narrow your search a little).  Neighbors should password their router anyways since most providers I know put a cap on the amount of data on the plan (I think Comcast is something like 200 Gigs....I know that's a bit and I hardly come close to the mark, but if everyone around me was using my wireless that would all add up quickly).  Hope this helps.
