Default UnProtecting Headers/Footers and also sections

Hello All,

I am using Word 2007. I am happy with protecting only certain sections and I
can use the Exceptions with Read Only to only allow Headers and Footers to be
editable.

However, I would like to combine the two. I need to have form fields but
also allow my users to edit the Header and Footer in my document.

Is this possible or will I have to go down the route of tiny Header section
and therefore regular Editable Sections at the top and bottom??

Thank you in advance for your thoughts

Judith

Where documents require such free editing, protected forms may not be the
best way forward. You may find Userforms more useful to gather and place the
data in your document - For the basics, see Word MVP FAQ - Userforms
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm

for a more in depth explanation, see
