protection and mailmerge

H

help

I am creating a word template for a company and, it needs to be protected to preserve the format and it also needs to include mailmerge, but I can't use mailmerge without unprotecting the document. This seems like an inconveniant way for the employees to have to use this word template. Is there an easy way that I can include mailmerge and textfields and still be able to protect it so that the employess keep it in the correct format?

There isn't an especially easy way, but if you have a macro that unprotects
the document and does the merge you should be able to make it available on a
toolbar button that can be used when the document is protected.
