Hi - Anyway to have an entire word form locked except for a couple of fields
- that are open for input?
For example: If I create a fax form that gets populated with the employees
info - the employee downloads the form - the entire form is locked except for
open fields on who the fax is to, how many pages, and comments area?

You just described the word "form" exactly. INsert form fields wheer you want
the user to input information, then protect teh document for form fill-in.

If using 2007, form tools are only on the devloper tab. The protect document
tools are on the review tab.

Earlier versions placed the protection on the tools menu

However if you want the full editing facilities of Word you should consider
a different approach Use instead a userform to collect and insert the data -
