Default Locking doc.with fill in the space only


I have a protected document that cannot be edited. I want only the areas
for typing in the information required to be used by anyone who uses it.
All the blank spaces will be underlined for entered text.

I hope you understand what I want to do. Thanks,

Create a Form using the Form tools on the Form Toolbar and then protect the
document as a Form.
