How do I create a checklist without locking the whole document?

[Guest]

I followed the directions on creating a checklist using a table. However I
am unable to lock the list without locking the entire document. Any
suggestions?

Insert a section break after the table (and another one before the
table if the table isn't at the start of the document). Now the table
will be either Section 1 of 2 or Section 2 of 3 (and this will be
shown in the status bar at the bottom of the window).

Click Tools > Protect Document. Depending on your version of Word,
this will open either the Protect Document dialog or the Protect
Document task pane.

- If it's the dialog, click the Forms option and then click the
Sections button to its right. Uncheck each section that doesn't
contain the table. Click OK in each dialog.

- If it's the task pane, check the box under Editing Restrictions, set
the dropdown to "Filling in forms", and click the link for "Select
sections". Uncheck each section that doesn't contain the table. Click
OK and click the Start Enforcing Protection button.
