Default Protecting Word Documents

Hello,

I am trying to password protect an application in Word so that users can
only enter information in one section. I followed the instructions for
protecting a document and checked "Filling In Forms" under the "Editing
Restrictions" section. When I then clicked on "Start Enforcing Protection"
and entered a password, nothing at all can be entered in the document. I
tried this procedure again and checked "Comments" and I got the same result.
How do I get the form to allow for adding information in one section of the
application?

Default Protecting Word Documents

You have to set the document up so there are section breaks, then protect
each section differently. If you have a table, split the table and add a
section break (Continuous I think) then protect whatever section you want to.
