I have a different question on this same issue.
I just got a call from a user who is working with a document that has
protected fields. The person who protected the fields no longer works here,
and none of the current employees know the password required to unlock those
fields. My guess is that they are out of luck. Nonetheless, I will pose
the question here in order to have my guess either confirmed or proven
wrong.
Is there a way to remove the password from protected fields when the current
password is unknown?

A protected form can have unprotected sections. You'll need to insert
section breaks to separate the protected and unprotected portions. For
more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

Hello...
I am wondering if there is any way to lock a specific part of a
document? In other words, If I wanted to create a public document for
everyone to use, is there anyway to lock certain parts of this
document so other users cannot enter information, and leave the rest
of the document for entering?
