Question Restrict editing: allowing forms, tracked changes AND comments

Hello,

I'm trying to stop users from being able to delete or edit field macros (which also serve as headings) on a Word document. I've tried doing this using continuous section breaks to contain the field macros, then restricting editing to filling in forms with only the sections containing the field macros set to restricted. However, this disables tracked changes and comments, which I need users to be able to make. I've tried restricting the document to read only and setting everything apart from the field macros as exempt, but this disables tracked changes. The other two restrict editing options also disable tracked changes.

I need users to be able to make comments and tracked changes and have normal editing capabilities on everything but the field macros.

Any ideas? My workplace uses Word 2010 on Windows 7.

Thanks in advance!

Andy
