protecting part of a doc

[Guest]

I am creating documents and requesting the user to complete the required information. I do not want them to be able to alter the 'required' field. Please help.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Parts
(sections) of online forms can be protected so that they cannot be changed.
Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at <URL:

Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
