I have a form with check boxes and fields that you type in. I need the check
boxes to work, but "protect form" locks out editing. To only partially
protect the document, section breaks are needed, but there are instances in
my document where starting on the next line is unnecessary (e.g. seperating
"Subject:" from "[Click here and type subject]")

You're combining two different types of form technology that are not
compatible. If you want to use MacroButton NoMacro fields (the "[Click here
and type subject]" ones), then you also need to use MacroButton fields for
your check boxes; learn how at
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm.

If you want to use check box form fields, then you also need to use text
form fields (you can have the default text set to "Click here and type
subject" if you like). For more on protected forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
