I created a template in Word and saved it as a template. I thought that would
keep users from changing the constant text & allow them the ability to type
answers into the questionaire. I found, however, that the "constant" text is
not frozen. Please help!

A template isn't the answer. Read up in Help on "protected" documents.

You have confused a template with 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.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
