Cindy has already told you how to use the controls in Word 2003. Note that
the result will be that the entire document will be locked in previous
versions, so if any of the users are using Wor 2002 or earlier, this may not
be satisfactory. If you want to pursue the idea of using form fields, see
the forms tutorials linked from
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm, which will
explain how to use form fields (which are not ordinary text boxes but text
form fields).

cells
so no one can alter the contents.
