save a document where fields be used but not altered

[JG]

I have careated a documents that need to be saved but not as read only. The
feilds are needed, such as a form. How can I save this material so the
format remains but text box alterations and movement areno longer on the page.

There isn't a surefire way of locking the form, but you might want to try
this as a workaround. Once the form is complete, group all elements
together. Then reduce the viewing size down so the entire pasteboard area is
visible on your monitor. Draw a single line from the top of the pasteboard
area to the bottom and then a second line from side to side. Move the lines
so that they are on the outermost edges of the pasteboard. Group those two
lines and then group them with the form. This will prevent moving or
resizing of any elements unless the items are ungrouped. It works perfectly
for preventing accidental modification, but if someone is determined to
cause mischief they can do so.
