Default How to protect a document?

Hi!

I created a document with Word and I would like other persons to fill some
fields with some text or some numbers in this form. How to protect the form
so they can not change the layout of the form or the content by mistake?

Thanks for the help!

Assuming that you have used the buttons on the Forms toolbar to add the
fields, you can use ToolsProtect Document, select Forms, type an optional
password, and then click OK. If you need to position the fields, use frames
(there is an Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar) or tables.

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.

Hope this helps,
