We are developing a simple question/answer template, and have used form
fields for the user's answers. We would like to protect the document and
limit the space for replies, but also allow users to format their responses.
Is there any way that formatting (eg bold, bullet points) can be enabled
within form fields? Or is there any other way we can achieve this goal?

This can only be done using macros that
-unprotect
- apply the formatting to the selection
- reprotect (without resetting)

This is fairly simple to achieve (and can mostly be recorded in macros then
pasted together) as long as the form fields are NOT in a table. If they are,
then you run into problems with SELECTING.
