How do you type on lines drawn on a word document without those lines moving? I have written a word documnet with blankmlines after each question, an individual must type on these blank lines, how can they do this without being able to change the word document?
Please, Any Ideas
Thanks
 
Before you distribute a form that users will view and complete in Microsoft Word, you must protect it so that users can enter information only in the designated areas.

Note When you protect a document by using the following method, any information in form fields will be reset.

On the Tools menu, click Protect Document.
Click Forms.
To assign a password to the form so that users who know the password can remove the protection and change the form, type a password in the Password (optional) box. Users who don't know the password can still enter information in the form fields.
To protect the entire form, click OK.
To protect only parts of a form, those parts must be in separate sections. Click Sections, and then clear the check boxes of the sections you don't want to protect.

 
thank you very much.
Theres just one thing, when i go to protect it will protect the enire doc, the sections option is blanked out, any ideas?
regards
 
Try selecting the Forms menu from the task bar. Click on the area where the answer is to be typed. Select "ab," "Text Form Field" and then "U." Put in as much space as you need. WHen you are finished, click on "Protect Form."

Hope this helps.
