Allowing font formating in a protected document

Is it possible to allow a user to enter text into a
protected document form field and then allow them to
selectively format specific words? (i.e. to use functions
such as Bold and Underline)

Hi Steve,
You can write a macro that will format selected text in a protect form but
the code will have to unprotect the document then do the formatting and
finally reprotect the document.

This article has sample code to unprotect then reprotect a document.
You would add your formatting code in between the unprotect and reprotect.
You could use something like this:
Selection.Range.Font.Bold = True.
Then you could assign the onAction property of the button to the macro. The
user would click this custom button to make the selected text bold.
