Can I create a form

Question

Can I create a form

I was curious if I could create a document that has locked text except for where I want to type in information.

Ie. If the document says Date: I would like the "date" text to be uneditable, but to be able to type in the date... if that makes sense.

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

I outlined several ways to achieve this in the Pages '08 forum.

I will see if I can find it.

While Peter is checking his records, I'll mention the first thought I had on reading your request. You could create a document with only the fixed information and Print or Export it to PDF. Then Insert the PDF into a Pages document as a Floating Object and Place Text Boxes where you want to be able to input variable text.
