I finally found a tread with my same problem. We use autotext extensively.
In 2003 we built autotext and stored them in our .normal. Then from Tools,
Macros, Organizer there was an "Autoext" tab that allowed us to move the
named autotext into for a specific file, which could be protected. Macros
within the protected file ran the autotext. That "Autotext" tab no longer
exists in 2007. We're in a real bind, all our contracts are protected.
HELP!!!!!

I have a 1 page letter that I need to have drop down menus and text field for
the body, but the capabilty of having autotext fill other areas. I have
entered a continuous section break just before and right after the area I
need protected. I have highlighted the section I need protected. When I use
the "tools" protection rather than the form lock protection icon, the only
options I have to choose from are formatting restrictions and editing
restrictions. I have tried using the formatting restrictions alone, I have
tried using the editing restriction of "filling in forms" alone and both of
these option in conjunction with each other. After I type in the password
and "enforce" the protection. I still can only use autotext or I can fill in
the forms. It will not allow me to do both in the same document. What am I
doing wrong?

Note you need to use Tools/Protect Document or the Protect document
task pane in order to see the option for deselecting various sections
rather than the Protect Document command on the Forms toolbar.

Yes. Insert a section break between the part you want to protect and
the
part you don't. Then you will have the option of protecting only
specific
sections.
