Hi jackj22,

It's not possible to do that kind of editing in a document protected for forms. What you can do, however, is use a separate (unprotected) document that's linked to your form via an INCLUDETEXT field as a holder for the drawing object and picture. Your users will be able to freely edit that document and, if you check the 'update automatic links at open' option under Word Options|Advanced > General, any changes to the 'picture' document should automatically be reflected in the form document..
