Locking the section

[Kumar]

Hello,

I wanted to lock certain lines of the word document. To achieve this,
I have defined bookmarks at these locations and inserted section
breaks. It works fine. It allows me to lock the text in the protected
section. However, it doesnot maintain the location of the bookmark..If
I delete certain lines above the section, the section along with the
bookmark shifts up. I wanted to freeze the location of the bookmark
(section). Any ideas?

Thanks
Kamur

Tricky...

Usually, the best way to maintain the layout structure of something like
this is to use a table or a frame (from the Forms toolbar) with EXACT
height and width settings. Then it won't matter how much text it
contains, it can't shrink... or grow.
