I guess this could be done via a macro that temporarily unprotects the
document. For the details, however, you'd better ask in a programming
newsgroup, such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general.

Not text in the form, per se, as text elsewhere in the document. There
are
addresses and other instructions that users may want to copy and paste for
usage.

To clarify, it's an instructional document, and the last page is a fill-in
form. I'd like users to be able to fill in the form for their own use and
printing, but not to change text in the rest of the document - while
retaining the ability to copy and paste addresses and instructions.

"Read-only" and "Filling in forms" are mutually exclusive options as you
protect a Word document, so I doubt this can be done.

Why do you want users to copy text in the form?

I would protect the entire document as fill-in form, but I want users
to be
able to select the non-form section - just not edit it.
