File Protection

[ChanTicO]

Hi, i'm new to this group, so sorry in advance if the answer is posted
elsewhere. I'm creating a document in word '02 for a friend's business. What
i'm attmepting to do is protect it in such a way that only the text boxes are
prompted (which is to say that i want him to be able to tab and go directly
to the areas he's going to fill out)

I have no idea how to do this effectively, can anyone help?

What you are describing is a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

That helps. .but is there anyway to link the form blocks for continuous
typining for say, 3 lines of text uninterrupted?

In other words i want to wrap text form fields if possible

Probably, you'll want to place that form field in a table row, setting the
row height to EXACTLY a measurement that fits 3 lines.

Text form fields can handle as much text as you like.
