How do i make a fill in form with some parts not changeable

[Guest]

I'm trying to make a form for my office with parts that we can just keep
filling in and updating. I know there is away to write protect certain areas
so we do not type over it. Ideally I would like them to be able to be able
to push tab or enter to just keep filling in what they need to. I need to
make it easy and efficient for them so they will use it.
Ex:
Job site:
Name:

I need to be able to write protect Job site and name and let them fill in
the answers

Click on View > Toolbars > Forms to display the Forms toolbar and add text
form fields to your document. Click the padlock icon to protect your
document when you have finished. See

This is called 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.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
