Form Templates

Word 2003 - I have a form that inspectors use on laptops to input data that
goes into a report. After they have filled it out they save it as a document
and email it to me. They have horrible punctuation and writing skills. Once
I get it I cannot rewrite anything they have put in the fields, even when I
take off the
protection. Is that the way it is designed? Once you save it it is carved
in stone and the only way to edit it is to start over with a new form?

Unprotect the document, then use Ctrl+A and then while everything is
selected use Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert the contents of the formfields to
ordinary text.
