I would like to use the text field, buttons, check boxes where if I send
someone the form, they cannot change the form but can only enter text where
allowed.

What you are describing is a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
