I am desigining (trying to) a form using word from Office XP and have a
mixture of text
fields and checkboxes that I input from the forms toolbar.
When I protect the document the checkbox function works just fine but the
text fields do not.
They work just as if I was trying to replace text normally.
When I unprotect the document the text fields fully select and typing
replaces them as I would expect but the check boxes do not function.
I have tried putting in continuous section breaks and then only protecting
the checkbox sections
but that causes the section break itself to mess up the page formatting.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?
