In what way can't you protect the document? What happens as you click
Protect Document on the Tools menu?

Hello,

I am using Word 2002 (I think) and I need to insert a check box in an
appraisal document that is set up as a table. Simple enough I thought,
except
that I can't protect the document or the form field to use it properly,
i.e.
I can't just click on it to check it or uncheck it, I have to go through
the
field properties and select check or uncheck.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Chris
