Default Entering free text and graphics on a form

I would like to create a document template or form that includes some form
fields (e.g. check boxes and dropdown boxes) but also a section of free text
where the user can enter & format text & graphics as in any other Word
document.

I appreciate that this is probably possible using VBA and ActiveX controls ,
but before I go down that road, is it possible using standard form controls?

Aha sorted this one myself. Creating a new section with different protection
settings does the trick.
