We are trying to create a form requiring a narrative type body field. In
this field, we'd like to allow the user to format as they desire, using
bullets, paragraphs, colors, etc. The rest of the form can be simple fields
but this narrative section must be more free. Is this possible?

G'day "nbpd" <nbpd@discussions.microsoft.com>,

Define styles. They can then apply the styles.

Version of Word? Have you looked at inserting a section break above/below this
part, and setting the section to be unprotected?
