templates

[Guest]

When I enter text into a field of a custom made template and then unprotect
the document so that I can make changes to format, I cannot use the mouse to
highlight portions of the text; it's all or nothing. I can use the arrows to
move the cursor within the text. Does anyone know a fix?

If you are using form fields in a protected template then why not simply
format the fields so that you don't have to unlock the form? If you are
having to unlock the form, then you should consider whether such a form is
the appropriate method to achieve your document. You might do better with
(say) macrobutton fields - there are some automation examples at
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm - or create userforms to gather your
data http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm
