Protection of Word Document

In MS Office 97, I could protect one section of the Word Document, while leaving the other section free to be edited. I am ofcourse talking about protection for forms.

In MS Word 2003, they have changed the complete dialogue box for protection and I cannot find any way that I can protect one section of the form, while leaving another section unprotected.

So, can anyone drop-in an idea or two?

Thanks.
 
I don't have 2003, I am using 2002. 2002 certainly allows you to select specific sections for forms. What does the dialog look like????

Under "Editing Restrictions" (section 2) of the dialog in the Task Pane, when you select "Filling in Forms" from the dropdown, a "Select sections..." 'hyperlink' appears. Click on this to get the dialog where you can select the sections you want protected.

Enjoy,
Tony
