Thank you for the correction.



Except, as we see from the current question, why would one want to do so?

I still use far more legacy forms than ones with content controls, but that is because I am lazy, as in, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Perhaphs because it gives access to rich text, picture, combo box & date picker controls that you don't get with formfields.

Yes, I understand the advantages of content controls, but then why use the "filling in forms" method of restricting editing?

For the same reason you'd use formfields - to prevent other areas of the document being edited. Applying 'filling in forms' protection is a lot simpler than going through a document and marking each and every content control as a no-change exception.
