Is there a way to populate portions of a Word template from contact data?
Specifically, I want to create a template that will automatically fill in
contact information, then allow the user to tab to and manually fill in other
fields.

When I use mail merge, I can't complete the merge with the template locked.
(I get an error: The OpenDataSource method or property is not available
because the object refers to a protected area of the document.) And if the
template is unlocked, the user must first initiate the merge, then lock the
template manually in order to tab to the form fields. I tried to create a
macro that would first merge to a new document, then lock the template, but
when I merge while recording the macro, the macro automatically stops when I
lock the template, the form fields disappear, and I can't edit any part of
the document.
