Default Protecting a table column

I have a document that has 2 columns and about 10 rows. Column 1 contains
survey questions and column 2 contains the answers. I don't want them being
able to change the column 1 questions but I want them to be able to key into
col 2 (answers)

How can I do this without deleting the entries in column 1 and re-creating
them as form fields

Default Protecting a table column

A protected form is the only way I know of to do this, but you don't need to
change the entries in column 1. You just need to add form fields to column
2. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
