Can I use a combo box without locking the document?

This is because, I want to set up a template and use a combo box, but if I
lock the document, I won't be able to write in it.

Thanks

Wrap the combo in continuous section breaks and only protect that
section.

Hi there
I want to create a form with combo boxes but to only protect (using the
Protect Form button on the forms toolbar) the part of the document with the
combo boxes. I've tried adding the continuous breaks below.

I'm using the form with MS Navision and if the document/form is protected,
it won't merge data into the other parts of the form for me.

Thanks
Rebecca

Insert a continuous section break before and another after the relevant part
and use protection for forms (Tools > Protect Document > Allow Only Filling
In Forms - item 2) which will give you a further option to select which
sections are to be protected.
