write protection

[Priscilla]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

We have created a form in Microsoft Word that has a drop-down function in one of the fields. We need to send this to our client with the write protection on so that they can enter in the information, as required. The problem is, when they have tried to make changes it won't let them use spell check or add rows. My question is, is there a way we can make it easy for them to change the document without the hassle of turning write protection on and off?

If you haven't already done so you need to use Section Breaks (Continuous)
in order to separate the editable areas from those that need to be
protected. Then use Tools> Protect Document - Forms, click the Options
button in that dialog to indicate which sections should be protected.

CyberTaz, we also use Version 2008, but OS 10.5.5; If I only project part of the sections of a report card. I would like to hold the comment section to a certain size, but still permit spell check. Is there a way to do that?
