Protecting a Templated Word Document

[GinnyH]

How can I set up different types of protection within the same templated Word
Document?

I want respondents to be able to fill in some sections with standard typing
and other section I want them to "check" a box.

THank you

What you are describing is a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

You need section breaks and to set protection with different levels for
different sections.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
