1] Use your favorite word processor to prepare your drama. Know where you save the files. Jenny has the two word documents in directory C:\MyDrama (See Below!)


Creating A Non-Printable, Non-Changeable  Public File 

1]  Open the demo document with your word processor.

If you have the right software, the owner can edit the pdf file at a later time with the file's administrative, master password.
