I have designed a report in word. It contains a grid for ticks to be entered and a text box for a short set of sentences to be written.

I wnat to set the document so that staff can enter ticks and sentences but not alter the layout or any other part of the document. I can't work out how to protect the document excluding the text boxes.

Anyone know how to do this.

I have tried splitting the doc into sections but if I put the text box into a section on its own it is still possible for staff to put the cursor behind the text box and enter returns which would start to move text further down the page towards the bottom of the document. Some halfwit is thus likely to cock up the layout when i make the document available to all staff.

Does your report contain Form Fields?

Yes. Form fields is the answer. Thanks, I have worked out how to do it now. Just needed pointing in the right direction.
