Hi Mary,

You can use Section breaks before/after the Section(s) you want to protect, then protect only that/those Section(s)

It appears that the text form fields can be used only if the whole document
is protected. Is there a way to just protect these fields without protecting
the whole document?

Hi Mary,

Formfields are found under 'Legacy Tools' on the Controls Tab on the Developer Ribbon. After inserting a text formfield via the
'Legacy Tools' collection, you'd need to right-click the formfield to access its properties.

Thanks for your response. I'm using Word 2007, and I don't see anywhere to
insert a formfield. I only way I saw to insert my sum was to click the down
arrow next to Quick Parts (on the Insert tab) and choose Field. Then I
clicked Formula and entered the sum, and there's no option to Calculate on
Exit. Am I missing something?

Hi Mary,

Only if your source cells are being updated by way of formfields and the:
.. formfield properties are set to 'calculate on exit'; and
.. document is protected for forms.

I have 5 rows in my table column. In the last cell I have the formula
"sum(F1:F4)". I know I can update the sum field by pressing F9, but is there
a way to set it so it will update whenever a number is entered in one of the
first 4 cells?
