I made a questionaire in MS Word, but the fields do not check when I click inside them. I went into word help and I checked the "Check box enabled" field.

How do I get my fields to lock and actually check?

Thanks,

Using the Forms toolbar (if you don't see it, click View, Toolbars, choose Forms), click the "Protect Form" icon (looks like a lock). This will lock the form and only allow entry in the form fields, check boxes, etc.

Is that what you need?

Yes and no-- It does indeed lock the forms, but I have a few other areas of the document where the user can fill in their own personal comments. Protecting the fields looks them out from writing elsewhere in the document. How can I lock ONLY the boxes?

You can't. To create a form, you need to make all input fields "form" fields. So insert form fields everywhere the person is supposed to input, then lock the form.

So if I want the person to be able to write their name and address somewhere on the document how do I do that?

See the attachment. I created a very simple questionnaire using form fields (and it's locked down), plus I added a screen shot of what I did. Hope this helps.
