Default Word forms - using a text box

Hi Graham. Thanks for the reply. What I ended up doing was putting the text
box in a separate table. Then I inserted a continous break between the table
with my form and the table with the text box, and protected the form section
while leaving the text box section unprotected.

Use a frame or a table cell instead of a text box and don't put it in the
footer view.

I have a Word form where I use text and drop down form fields. I
would like to use a text box at the bottom of the form to collect
comments/feedback (the text form field is too small). However, when
I click the "Protect Document" button I can't tab to the text box or
enter any text in it.
Anyone know how I can have a protected document but still be able to
select and enter text in a text box?
Thanks.
