Hello, I have created an email template in Word 2000. I have text
fields which I want rep's to be able to fill out, and then hit the send
button to shoot it off. The problem is I dont want them being able to
change anything but the text fields specified. To do this I protected
the document. Unfortunately when I protect the document word will not
send the email. Does anyone know a way around this? I've tried
reinstalling Word 2000 thinking it was a glitch in my system, but it
doesent appear to be.

You may need to use VBA to do this.

See the article "How to send an email from Word using VBA" at:

I figured out the issue. One I was in design mode. Once I exited
design mode I could protect the document. The problem then was I was
unable to unprotect the document after I saved. This was solved by
changing the Macro security level from high to medium under tools:
macros: security. Now it asks me on startup if I want to enable
macro's, if I choose yes everything functions perfectly!
