You can't in that if it can be read, it can be copied. If it can be copied,
it can be modified. However, it may be that what you are talking about is
what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online
forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

That is not what a template is (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm). I think
you are talking about 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.
