Default Can merge fields be locked?

I created three merge forms - all linked to the same data source - that our
people have been using full-time for the past week. At least once each day
this week I've had to "correct" their forms. One of the reasons has been that
they inadvertently type over a field after forgetting to put that field's
information in the data source file.

Is there any way to "lock" the merge fields so that they can't be edited on
the main documents? I know this can be done in Excel but can't find it in
Word. I'm using Word 2003.

Thanks very much for any help anyone can offer.

Dan
