I am trying to save a word 2000 document so that when I re-pen it I can add information to the report form without disturbing the fields or info already on the form. Someone in tech tips recommneded protecting the form, but that does not let you re-enter data. I want to bring the form up like a database form and be able to toggle from field to field in the word processor form and enter report information. I want the basic report form "frozen" so to speak so the information can't be changed or moved, but I want to be able to enter information to the new report form and save it.

How can this be done in Word 2000? Thank you in advance.
 
View-Toolbars-Forms.

You need to insert the forms where ever you want to be able to *fill in*. Then, you must protect the form.

Unprotect and reprotecting a *completed* form requires a VBA code. Complete information on this will be available at my site within a week, and probably a sample document as well.
