Locking Fields

[Milagros]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to lock a field(s) in a table? A
customer needs to lock areas inside a table to prevent
the form fields from being changed and anything outside
of these fields can be edited. Thanks in advanced.

Well, I do not know your application so maybe this does not help, but you
can of course un-check the "Fill-in Enabled" box on the field properties for
certain fields...

This is exactly what a protected form does. You can't use form fields
without protecting the document. See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to
