I'm trying to create a document for work so that I can send it to vendors and
they can fill out the information about their product we will be selling. I
would like to be able to lock the "question" part, and leave the "answer"
lines blank. I have seen Word documents where the parts you can fill in on a
computer are "highlighted" by a grey box. I would like to know how to do
that.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
