how do i protect a word doc, but leave some areas editable?

[Lainey25]

I have a word document formatted, but there are certain pieces of information
that need to be edited each time it is used. How do I create it so only the
set sections can be changed?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm and the links in
that article.

These articles illustrate the steps for Word 2003 or earlier. If you have
Word 2007, post back for revised instructions.
