Put the text field in the body and a REF field to duplicate it in the
footer.

We have created a document to be used as a template for written
protocols.
We
have inserted text fields under the required headings for users to type
in
to. We also have a footer where a protocol version date must be typed
in.
How
can I protect the document so that the fields work, but leave the footer
unprotected so that a version date can be typed in (Word won't allow me
to
place a text field in the footer.).

Thank you.
