Word Template Protection Urgently   

Hi,

            I am working with word templates having macro forms in it. I use 
auto-text entries of 15-20 pages along with bookmarks giving options to the 
user in macros. The user can insert the name, address and check or uncheck 
the desired autotext entries(i.e autotext entries have bookmarks where the 
bookmark text will be replaced by the user inserted fields). After insertion, 
the generated document will be protected. There is a problem in the 
protection of this generated document from template. I need the generated 
document (i.e after user entered his requirements in the template) to be 
protected in such a way that user can make changes only to specific bookmarks 
in the generated document (i.e even for auto-text entered bookmarks- name, 
address, etc in the protected document). The generated document should be 
well protected allowing only changes in the required bookmarks. Can you help 
me in the option of editing the bookmarks in the generated document(i.e 
protected one)? Should I insert any code in macros VBA or make use of the MS 
word protection options directly? I see the option of editing desired text in 
the normal protected word document.

 

In VBA, I noticed the four options ActiveDocument.Protect( ) 
[wdallowonlyreading, wdallowonlyformfields,wdnoprotection,etc]. I am unable 
to get the required result. Please, help me in this urgently. Hoping your 
positive action soon.

Re: Word Template Protection Urgently   

What version of Word are you using?  Are you using formfields? Anything 
entered into a formfield can be edited in a document that is Protected for 
Forms.
