After you create each individual document, use the command to protect it.

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Using the information from the amazing MVPs, I have created a document
that
merges excel data into a document with form fields(that spell checks!!!).
I'm stuck on one last piece of the puzzle. I am trying to split the
merged
document into individual files using a merge field as the user name. If
the
merged document has the form proctection turned off, it works, but then
all
the new documents are unprocted as well. Is there a way to keep the form
protection in my new documents?
