You can't, at least not the same way you can in Excel. You can embed an
Excel worksheet as a table and use Excel controls on it. If you are inserting fields using the forms toolbar and protecting or locking the form, you can disable text entry into one or more fields. This is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.

Hi ?B?ZGlja2twZQ==?=,
I use tables to create forms for use by others and would like to be able to lock or protect individual cells in the table from editing by others. How can I do this in WORD? If you have Word 2003 you can protect the document similarly as in Excel: select ranges and "unlock" them. Earlier versions of Word: see the replies from Charles and Suzanne.
