I did try that of course, however, the key is getting the cursor to start at
the right spot when they open the document. Right now if they open the
template the cursor is on the logo in the header, not in the body of the
message. By "sectionalizing" we can change the margins and the cursor is
correct, and by protecting seciton 1, they can't write in that (header) area,
so the writing begins in the 'body' where they want it. Is this making sense?

It doesn't need protecting and by being a header will not be accidentally
changed. Nothing you can do will stop malicious users from screwing up your
best laid plans - but training is the obvious solution. Tell the users what
is required to use that template.

we cannot use the 'protect/unprotect' features of W2K3, because the
dictation service needs to be able to write to the properties of the

x/y coordinates, etc. this cannot be anything new to the Word World.
