If the check boxes are only indicators then see
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm for a method of providing
checked/unchecked boxes.

Unlike (some of) the other fields, form fields cannot be locked and

protection.
If you want users to edit text more freely than is allowed in a text
form field, add an unprotected section to your document.
For more on forms protection, see

especially the linked articles by Dian Chapman.

I am designing a questionnaire. I wish to lock the check boxes on
the form but leave text boxes unlocked for free text. Is that
possible - did try ctrl+F11 etc but does not seem to work
thanks John aka Khartoum
