locking down a word document

[Jerry.Peoples]

Good morning,

I would like to be able to lock down the attached document. the only thing a person should be able to alter is answering the information, everything else i would like to be made unalterable

for example, in the top portion, they should just be able to type in todays date, name, phone, address etc...

but when they type in this information, i would like it not to reformat the page meaning if what they enter is too long then it pushes the row to the right down to the next row.

i have used forms toolbar for the checkmarks and to mark spaces where they can just use checkmarks and also i used the text form field to mark where their answers are.

i am sure i am just missing a simple setting but for the life of me can not figure it out.

thanks
