So I realized that protecting my document allowed me to fill it out (as an
end user would) but without being able to edit it when I opened it on MY
computer...however, when I send it through the email and end users open it,
it is in a format that won't allow them to use, ie..they can't check the
boxes or fill in their names, it's just a plain ole document. It has to be
something I'm doing wrong and I've tried so many combinations with macros
security on medium from high (previous advice from one of you guys there) to
various ways of protecting...

Any suggestions?
