Hi

I have a document with multiple sections. One section has a checklist in it
so that you tick the options you need.

I have protected that section only via Tools, Protect Document..etc.

However, even though the rest of the document can be amended I am unable to
change the header/footer of that particular section.


Any advice most welcome

Protected documents don't allow changing of headers and footers. You will
need to create a toolbar button that runs a macro to unprotect (reprotect)
the document if you want users to be able to change those areas. Perhaps
you'd be better of with the type of form described he

Or perhaps you can tell us why the user will need to enter the header, and
we can provide a different solution.

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
