Documents made from a Protected Template

[Antero Santos]

I have a template whit fields that some are fill in enable others aren't fill
in enable. I need to protect all fields to not allow the user to delete them.
The only way i find out to be able to protect the fields was to protect the
all document, but by protecting the all document, i can't change some of the
formation options of the document, for exemple, insert bullets and numbering
or change the margins.
I whant to know if it's possible to protect only the fields let the users do
anything on the document except delete the fields on the document based on
one template.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

What you are asking is not possible in Word. You can protect certain
sections of a document but not individual fields. You can enable fill-in in
some fields and not others in a protected document. This 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/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

First off all thanks for your time.

Second, your sugestion I'am already using, and that's the problem. I have
create section that protect the fields that I want to protect, and i have a
section that is free to the user to do what ever an word processor can do.
But when I protect the document in the free area I'm not able to change, for
example, Margins, bullets and numbering, borders and shading, etc.. This
seems to me a little bit odd.
The only thing i don't want is to the user to delete my fields, I don't want
to them to not been able to change bullets or borders. Even more strange I
can create Bullets or Borders from the buttons on the toolbar.

Please advise

Best Regards
