Default Form question

Is is possible to create a word document that the first
page is a locked form and the remainder (new section?)
functions like an unlocked word document?

Thank-you

Yes. You have to, initially, use the Protect Document command under the
Tools menu and click on the sections button when protecting for forms. It
will let you protect, unprotect different sections. (You need to have
multiple sections in the document for this to work.)

For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
