Hi there~
I am new to the newsgroup and I need help.  How do I save a document
that I made as a template.  I want to be able to send it to people and
have them be able to type in the information (like an application, or
report) without changing the fields and writing that I have created.
Is there a way to do that?  I save a document as a template but when I
sent it through email, the person that received it was able to change
all of the things that I had typed.

HELP!

Thanks

I think what you actually want is a form. Templates are not intrinsically
connected to what you want to do.  But I'm not very familiar with forms.

Start with one of these pages--they are written for WinWord, but you should
be able to translate them. If you have problems, this is not a good place to
post, as you will get better and quicker help on the group that is for just
MacWord, not all of Office.

PS.
There are many Mac-specific MS newsgroups and the better you direct
questions, the more likely to receive quick accurate help.
