Hi...I created a document, I copy pasted some tables from excel into word. I
added "text form field" boxes. I want to be able to e-mail this to other
people, I want them to be able to fill it out, but not change the format.
I've tried this a couple times, but when they go to type in it, their writing
is red, and weird messages appear on the right saying that they changed the
document. Also, they can "delete" part of form that they shouldn't have
access to. That just changes the part "deleted" to red with a slash through
it. If you understand can you please help?

You have Track Changes turned on (or they do). Also, if you want them to
fill out just certain portions, you should create a protected form; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
