When creating a form, i want to add a field into the header so users can fill
out. However, the only way i can get into headers is to remove the
Protection. Then i don't see how to add a field. Is it possible?

[Jay Freedman]

No, form fields are not allowed in headers. Place the form field in the body
of the document, and put a REF field in the header to repeat the result. See

But a REF field in the header will not update automatically; a macro will be
required. For this reason a STYLEREF field is more satisfactory in a
protected form; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm
