How to lock items?

What I want to do is to select an object or paragraph and prevent it being
moved or edited. In other packages I use this is called lock, but maybe it
called something else in publisher. It is a standard feature in most dtp
packages as it prevents aligned objects being moved or checked text being
amended in error.

Could you please confirm whether this can be done in any way in publisher
and if so how.

There is no way you can lock a Publisher file. Think about putting the things
you don't want edited on the master page, group them, put a rectangle around the
page and bring the rectangle to the front.
