Default Need Help with Protecting a form created in Word for MAC 2011

I have created a large fillable form in Microsoft Word for MAC 2011. It is primarily a series of small tables where I have a cell with a question in it next to an empty cell where people can type their answer. This goes on for 15 pages. I did not use the developer feature for forms because I did not like the look of the form and I can't get the check boxes to work.

I tried to protect the document so no one can change the questions or instructions, but protecting the document prevents entry of the answers in the empty cells. I also tried protecting it through the developer feature, but it protects an entire row in the table, which again, prevents entry of answers into the empty cells.

Am I trying to do the impossible or can I protect certain cells without locking everything!



Thank you,

Kim
