I hate word - I'm an excel and access guy.

I created a doc with check boxes that a user needs to click in to agree to certain terms and conditions, but in order to use them you need to protect the form (view-toolbars-forms, and then its the lock button).

But when you lock the form one cant type into it - dont get it, with excel you could protect and lock or unlock just certain cells....need the checkboxes "turned on" and still being able to type in it.

I think you may have to set the level of control you're after in the VB control panel for Word and for that document. As you noted, this is actually easier in Excel. Heck, even Adobe is easier for what you're describing... You know I'd help if I could.
