Hi - Anyway to have an entire word form locked except for a couple of fields
- that are open for input? For example: If I create a fax form that gets populated with the employees info - the employee downloads the form - the entire form is locked except for open fields on who the fax is to, how many pages, and comments area? Jess |

You just described the word "form" exactly. INsert form fields wheer you want
the user to input information, then protect teh document for form fill-in. If using 2007, form tools are only on the devloper tab. The protect document tools are on the review tab. Earlier versions placed the protection on the tools menu HTH "Jess" wrote: Hi - Anyway to have an entire word form locked except for a couple of fields - that are open for input?

However if you want the full editing facilities of Word you should consider a different approach Use instead a userform to collect and insert the data - For the basics, see Word MVP FAQ - Userforms http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm for a more in depth explanation, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and...a_UserForm.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Jess" wrote in message ...
