You need to protect (lock) the form. What you are talking about 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. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

i have created a word template and secured it, but paragraphs can still be
added to it outside of the form fields I inputted. How do I restrict the
form to the form fields only?
