It's available in all versions AFAIK. In all versions, however, you must
have already inserted the section breaks before it is offered, and you have
to use Tools | Protect Document rather than the padlock button on the Forms
toolbar. Then when you choose to protect the document for forms, you'll be
offered a choice of sections to protect.

Thank you for the response. Is this functionality to protect sections
available in Word 2000?? That's the version we use here at work. This
functionality does not seem to be available in this version.

Add section breaks as needed and protect specific sections for forms
(they
don't have to contain any form fields) and leave other sections
unprotected.
Be aware, however, that the forms protection on part of the document
will
reduce functionality in the entire document. If you have Word 2003,
there
are other forms of protection you can use, but if the document is opened
in
an earlier version, the entire document will be protected.

A colleage of mine wants to write-protect half a word document, and
let
the
other half not be write protected.

This is for an SOP document cotnaining standards in our company. We
don't
want people to change the 'standard' part of the text, but we do want
to
allow for specific entries to be added to the end of the document. We
prefer
not to use form fields if we don't have to - many rows of entries may
need
to
be added to a table, and people are not very PC literate around here.
We
don't want to have up to 300 users have to know a password either. Is
there
a way to do this?
