Does anyone know how to do this - create a template where the only information that can be altered is where they fill in the information about the patient, or whatever other information I want to be able to change?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           garfield-n-odie [MVP] 10/25/2006 10:14 AM PST   Answer   See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm .
