I've created a form in Word and have it protected. The user needs to have
the ablility to midway thru the form, unprotect it add lines, and then
reprotect the form. We are finding that when they do so all previously
entered data is deleted. The Microsoft help says that data will be retained
when protecting and unprotecting but we aren't finding that to be the case.
Any suggestions?
