Default Links in protected forms?

I'm working on a template wich is a formbased, passwordprotected file. The
template will be used later on by a costumer to simply fill in hte fields and
store information on a local server.
However, I need some function that allows the costumer to also create
hyperlinks to other documents, but these functions
a) are disabled in protected mode
b) transforms the whole formfield into a hyperlink if I try to create a
hyperlink within the formfield.

I'm using the basic forms-tool and all forms are basic text, no restrictions
for the amount of input letters.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your quick help Diane!

However, this is not what I was looking for... What I need is a function for
the end-user to be able to create hyperlinks within the form fields. The
templates will be locked by default, but they will be able to unlock in case
of need.
However, I've tried to create a hyperlink within one of the formfields, but
to me it seems it's not even possible to do it?
I was wondering if there's any work around it?

For example, I have a formfield where I want to write down the contactinfo
for a costumer, with address, phonenumber and so on. I also want to be able
to create a hyperlink to the costumers website within the form field, but
when I try to mark the text to the website
1) all the text in the form field is marked instead of just the URL
2) even though I try to mark part of the text and create a hyperlink, the
whole form field is instead converted into a hyperlink wich is totally blank
and just shows a blue line.

I am aware that I'm probably a little vague in my description, but I hope
anybody can help me out with this anyway...

Regards
Sofia
