How to protect a text form field

[Charlie]

I have a form that contains multiple Text Form Fields for
input. The form itself is protected so my users won't
change it. After entering information into the fields I
want the user to save the document as a read-only, so no
one else can modify it and print out a hard copy. When
opening the document later as read-only the Text Form
Fields still allow modification, and printing of the
modified document, although they can't resave it under the
original name. How can I restrict the document so NOTHING
on the document can be modified unless they have the
modify password?

Use the following commands in a macro

Dim aff As Field
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
For Each aff In ActiveDocument.Fields
If aff.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput Then
aff.Unlink
End If
Next aff
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields
