Hi Gail,

Put your table between section breaks. Insert text form fields in the
columns that still may be accessed, possibly with a default value.
Protect your document for form fields (Tools | Protect document... | check
the option under '2.' in the task pane | select 'Filling in forms')
Choose 'Select sections...' in the task pane and only leave the section with
your table checked.

Good luck,
Cooz

Hi Cooz,

That only works with rows, not columns, and results in the table being split
into multiple separate tables - which plays havoc with any formulae trying
to add columns, etc.

Hi macropod,

That so? Not with me. I can create a table with read-only columns this
way... no problem whatsoever.
