Is it possible to use symbols in a password protected form?

[Guest]

I created a password protected template form. Someone wants to enter symbols
but the drop down menu won't allow the user to select symbols. Is there a
way to do this?

Only by using a macro similar to the following

Sub Form_InsertSymbol()
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
End If
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertSymbol).Show
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True
End Sub
