How do I lock a cell on a Word table?

[Guest]

I am creating an electronic form for engineers to fill out onsite at
hospitals and I don't want them interfering with the layout etc. How do I
lock cells on a word table so they can only access the fields I want them to?

What you are describing is a protected form. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
