protecting a document: allowing form completion AND comments?
Thanks, Dawn, for letting me know. They'll just have to settle for using
Tracked Changes. Thanks again.

Hi Barbara -
I missed the point that you were trying to add comments from the Review
tab. Nope, you are locked out of those when you have document protection
turned on. Sorry. I thought you were adding text as comments within a
paragraph.

Hi, Dawn,
Thanks so much for the help, but I couldn't get this to work
completely...
I'm doing this with Word 2007 on Windows XP.
I think I followed the instructions carefully, but when I save the file
(a .dotm file) and then open a copy of it, while I can fill in the form
(in Section 1), I still cannot insert a new Comment anywhere in the
document.
To reach the Comments button, I'm going to the Review Tab, Comments
Group, and looking at "New Comment", but that button is grayed out.
I wonder if I missed something or if there is some other setting that I
might have configured to prevent Comments? I'd be grateful for any other
suggestions/input! Thanks so much.
