Default protect document and fill in checkboxes

Hi ?B?RGVicmE=?=,

I have created a form in Word 2007 using tables. I have fill-ins as well as
check boxes. I want to protect part of the document and also be able to put
x's in the checkboxes. Is there a way I can do both?

Not if the checkboxes are from the Forms toolbar and are located in an
unprotected part of the document.

You could possibly use the checkboxes from the "ActiveX controls" - these
should work without document protection. But you need to know that they can
also trigger macro security. If that's not a problem for you, then they should
be OK.
