Default creating automatic fill in header of locked 2007 word document

i could do this in the '03 format, but it won't let me in the '07 format!
i
need to create an auto-fill in the header of a password-protected, locked
form in microsoft word and it won't let me - eek! any help is
appreciated; i
am at my wit's end!!


If I follow what you are trying to do, I can add a Fillin field in the
header and when I create a new document based on the template the Fillin
does prompt. Are you perhaps not using a template? Fillin fields
automatically prompt only when a new document is created from a template
containing the Fillin field.

If this isn't what you are using then can you expand on what you are using
for your "auto-fill" in the header?
