If you have a Section Break after the form part of the page, and only apply
protection to the section containing the form, the text after the section break will not be protected. There are however some restrictions on the capabilities of Word with respect to that text - Spelling Checking, access to Headers and Footers etc. -- Hope this helps.

unprotected. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

After entering the section break and protecting the upper portion of my form,
I cannot tab or click on the bottom section to type. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you select protection for Section 1 only, leaving Section 2 unprotected?

I selected the upper section then hit the protection (lock on tool bar). Can
you explain briefly how to only protect Section 1 if this is not the correct way. Thanks "Suzanne S.

Don't use the lock icon for this. Instead, use the Tools Protect Document
dialog or the Protect Document task pane, depending on your version of Word. For Word 2002 or 2003: When you select "Filling in forms" in the dropdown on the task pane, the Sections link appears below it. Click that, and uncheck the section(s) that shouldn't be protected. For earlier versions: When you click the Forms option in the dialog, the Sections button becomes enabled. Click that, and uncheck the section(s) that shouldn't be protected. After you've made that selection, then you can use the lock icon and Word will remember which sections to protect. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org lynnb253 wrote: I selected the upper section then hit the protection (lock on tool bar).
