Hello there i am currently in the process of compiling some new order documents for our Company but i am having trouble finding out how to lock the document but still make certain amendments to it for example:  on this order i want the company details and despatch address locked so they cant be amended but then i want people to be able to fill out the order form too

You don’t mention the program you’re using so I’ll assume it’s Microsoft Word.

To create a form in Word, open a new document, click the View menu and select Toolbars. The form toolbar is one of the options available.

Once you have the forms toolbar up you can then start building your form. To get text and layouts from your existing documents, just copy and paste from the old to the new.

When you are finished, protect the document by clicking the padlock icon on the forms toolbar and then save the document as a template.

You may want to save the template onto a shared drive on your network so it can be used by the right staff. See our post on how to setup a shared templates folder.
