I am using Word 2007 to fill in a locked template. I want to be able to use
numbering and bullets within the field as this is an SOP. In 2007 this
appears unavailable. When i use another computer that has 2003, it is
available and works fine. Any suggestions?

To better define:
I am have a Word document template I have locked for editing, to be used for
my employees to fill-in information. I am calling the areas you tab around
the document to enter information fields.

The document I have is a Word document created in 2003. It is a protected
template with the fill-in capability. When I try to fill in one of the
fields using Word 2007, it does not allow for the use of bullet points or
numbering. I need to enter bullet points or numbering into one of the
fields. Word 2003 allows me to do this, but Word 2007 does not.
