Default Protecting some parts of a Word form

Hello All;
Not sure if I am in the correct section, but, here goes.
In Word 2000, I was able to lock different parts of as form using
"sections". I can not seem to find this in Word 2003.
This is what I am trying to do.
I have a form that also has some documentation. Within the documentation
there is a link to send a e-mail. Once you lock the form, I am not able to
launch the e-mail.

Any ideas

Thanks all

Chomp

Default Protecting some parts of a Word form

From the Tools menu, Select Protect Document then in Section 2 - Editing
restrictions of the Protect Document task pane, check the box and then
select Filling in forms from the pull down. If your document contains more
than one section, there will be a Select sections... link in blue text.
Click on that and you can control to which sections the protection is
applied.

Even with part of the document unprotected, you may need to use a
macrobutton field for the email

See the article "Using MacroButton fields" at:
