Forms in MS Word

[RankinC]

Hi All,

If anyone could provide advice on this matter I would be very grateful.

I have designed a form in MS Word that is to be protected, the form will be used by our field officers who will fill it in on-site using a Toshiba Portege m700 tablet, unfortunatley the 'pen' option is faded out when I protect the document.

Is there any way to enable the 'pen' option, and to set up a fill-in box that the officers will write into, that will then populate a specified part of a protected document?

Thanks in advance

Chris
