How do I lock a word document (I have newspaper columns and tables

the tables without them moving?

Hi Polly

How do I lock a word document (I have newspaper columns and tables
throughout), so that I can make it electronic and have other people type into
the tables without them moving?

Take a look at the following overview article:

I'm designing a form that needs to have “fill-in-the-blanks†lines. What
is the best way to create them? (by Suzanne S. Barnhill and Dave Rado)
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm

The above applies if you really _do_ need a form.

Maybe it's already enough if you fix the width and height of your table
cells, so your users aren't all too easily messing up the formatting?
