Summary: Enhancement: Protect inline text (word/phrase) from editing without creating a section Description: Currently, in LibreOffice Writer, protecting text from editing requires creating a section. While this works for larger blocks of text, it causes issues when the user needs to protect only small portions of text, such as a word or short expression. Creating a section for very small text fragments often disrupts the document layout and makes editing less practical. In Microsoft Word, it is possible to restrict editing of inline text directly (e.g., protecting a single word, phrase, or expression) without changing the structure of the document. This functionality is especially useful in: contracts and legal documents (where certain terms must remain fixed), templates and standardized forms, collaborative documents where only specific phrases must be locked. Request: Introduce a feature in Writer that allows users to protect inline text (single words or phrases) from editing, without the need to create a section. This would make Writer more flexible and improve usability in professional workflows.
It looks like you need to be familiar with Contents control. in Writer, use Forms - Contents control, and choose the control you need. Then select the whole text, add a section and protect the section. The text will not be editable except the content control.
