I want to create a form on Dropbox that can be filled out by, but they can't edit the document?

    There could be an option in Word to prevent users from editing the text, except for the things they need to add in, however Iā€™m not sure if this can be done.
     
    Hopefully youā€™ll find a solution to your query!

Thanks so much for the reply.  I just want to make sure they can't edit the document but have fillable fields.  Not even sure this is possible.  Maybe it would be a different document other than Word.
