Mail merge , check boxes & Protecting document

[glenn]

I am creating my own fax form that allows me to merge my
contacts into my fax form. I want to add check boxes
for: Urgent, Respond ASAP, for review, etc. To add a
check box, I have to protect the form to enable the check
box to work automatically. When I protect the document,
I lose mail merge. Is there a way to protect only a
proportion of the document and still use mail merge? I
also want to use check boxes in transmittal forms and
also integrate mail merge into those documents. I am
using Office XP. Is it impossible to have both features
in a document?
