Default Changing font colour in protected form fields

I have a protected form document (Word 2003) that my clients use and in a
standard text field I would like them to be able to change font colour if
they choose. Is this possible at all and if so how can I set up that option
in the file that I send out to them to use?

Default Changing font colour in protected form fields

You would have to unlock the form, run the command and relock the form using
a macro. The basic methodology is covered at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm
Colouring is not something normaklly associated with forms, which are more
commonly used to collect data. If you need such formatting, is a form the
best tool for the job?
