Question

How do I protect parts of a form in Word?

Answer

1. Open the form that you want to protect
2. Select the content control or the group of controls to which you want to restrict changes
3. To group several controls, select the controls by pressing SHIFT and clicking each control that you want to group. On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, click the Group drop-down arrow, and select the Group command
4. On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, click Properties
5. In the Content Control Properties dialog box, under Locking, do either or both of the following:
   1. Select the Content control cannot be deleted check box, which allows the content of the control to be edited but the control itself cannot be deleted from the template or a document that is based on the template
   2. Select the Contents cannot be edited checkbox, which allows you to delete the control but does not allow you to edit the content in the control
