Default Protect/Unprotect Feature in Different Versions of Word

You may need to use a macro to reprotect the form

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

We have a form that was created using Word 2003 and is a protected
document
(tools / protect document).

We have a user who has Word 2000 and leaves the form protected while
filling
out the form fields, then unprotects the document to add pages.

When she again protects the document, all information she has entered into
the form fields is immediately removed.

Does anyone know of a way we can modify this document in Word 2003 to make
this work as described above for users of previous Word versions??

Thanks! -Jen;-)
