Default Locking Text

Hi,

Could someone tell me how to lock certain areas of text so that do not move
or get overtyped when a document is used in word 2007. What is the best way
to do this?

Default Locking Text

Hi Baggie,

The usual way of doing this involves putting section breaks before/after the portions you want to protect, then protecting the
document for forms, leaving the other section(s) unprotected.

Another way might be to put the 'protected' material into a text box in the header or footer. This has the advantage/disadvantage
that the protected text stays put regardless of what's typed in the user area of the page.

Cheers
