By locking a form, you prevent unwanted changes from being made to it and, in the process, activate the form fields so users can respond to the form's questions. Unlocking the form enables editing and, subsequently, de-activates the form fields.
Additional form security is available with the password protection option. A password-protected form is less likely to be altered once it is saved for users. The password used to lock a form is the same one used to unlock it. You can lock and unlock forms, with the option of adding a password, from the Developer tab. It appears as a gray area with a blinking cursor. Aside from Type, there are three other options that appear in the top section of the box. The other option, Text, Number, or Date Format, does change depending upon the type chosen.
You can change the formatting of data users enter to meet your needs. Select Date in the Type list, and you can specify how the date will appear by choosing an item from the Date Format drop-down list so entries will be uniform. You can control how much space an entry can take up with the Maximum Length option. You can ignore this setting when you use a format that already implies a length, such as the date format yyyy-MM-dd.
If you want to limit what users add, insert the plain text content control. To set specific properties on the control, see Set or change properties for content controls. Use building block controls when you want people to choose a specific block of text. You can create rich text content controls for each version of the boilerplate text, and then you can use a building block control as the container for the rich text content controls.
In a combo box, users can select from a list of choices that you provide or they can type in their own information. In a drop-down list, users can only select from the list of choices. Legacy form controls are for compatibility with older versions of Word and consist of legacy form and Active X controls. Each content control has properties that you can set or change. For example, the Date Picker control offers options for the format you want to use to display the date.
If you want to limit how much others can edit or format a form, use the Restrict Editing command:. If you want to protect only parts of the document, separate the document into sections and only protect the sections you want. To do this, choose Select Sections in the Restrict Editing panel. For more info on sections, see Insert a section break. Content controls include things like check boxes, text boxes, and drop-down lists. You can set Options on controls once inserted.

Options let you set common settings, as well as control specific settings. Select a control and then select Options to set up or make changes. Select Macro to Run on lets you choose a recorded or custom macro to run on Entry or Exit from the field.
Bookmark Set a unique name or bookmark for each control. Calculate on exit This forces Word to run or refresh any calculations, such as total price when the user exits the field. Add Help Text Give hints or instructions for each field. OK Saves settings and exits the panel. Cancel Forgets changes and exits the panel. Default text sets optional instructional text that's displayed in the text box before the user types in the field.
