How do i make a fill in form with some parts not changeable
I'm trying to make a form for my office with parts that we can just keep
filling in and updating. I know there is away to write protect certain areas so we do not type over it. Ideally I would like them to be able to be able to push tab or enter to just keep filling in what they need to. I need to make it easy and efficient for them so they will use it. Ex: Job site: Name: I need to be able to write protect Job site and name and let them fill in the answers |

Click on View Toolbars Forms to display the Forms toolbar and add text
form fields to your document. Click the padlock icon to protect your document when you have finished. See http://www.allaboutoffice.co.uk/wordform.htm for more information.

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.
