Okay, so I made a document for an online course that I have to attach to something, and it's full of pictures, and often while making this, if I moved one picture around, it destroyed the entire thing.

So how do I make this document read only so that no one else can move thing on it?

In windows it's right click > Properties and you can check off a box.

It's rather simple. Get to the folder, obviously, and then right click on the file, and the one the farthest from the cusor (or closest, depending on where the file in on the screen) is "properties", and one of its attributes is Read-Only. Click this. And that's all!
