Default Cannot Protect a Mail-Merge Form

Hello,

I cannot figure out how to protect a "mail-merged" document with Word2K3:

1. I created a new mail merge document (Word2K3) with just a couple of
fields from a local MS Access2K3 database sourceI created a form with fill-in
fields in Word 2003. (The data merge works fine, and displays the single
record I want)

2. I then add a couple of fill-in form fields and check boxes in the same
document.

3. When I select "Protect Document" (goal is to activiate my fill-in form
fields that are on this document) , everything in the Protect-Document task
pane is dormant or gray'ed out.

I have done this successfully in the past using Word2K2, but cannot get it
to work in Word 2K3. Anyone know hoe to get Word2K3 to protect a form that
has benn "mail-merged"??

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!!!

Thanks and Regards,

DaveDVF
