Property Fields and Restricted Editing [Word 2010]

i've reviewed other 'similar' questions , not address issue. have document property [form] fields tie in database. if leave document unlocked there possibility user delete these fields. avoid have done following:

1) on developers tab selected 'restrict editing'

2) restrict editing chose 2. allow type of editing in document > no changes (read only)

3) proceeded select areas of document edited "everyone". includes selecting property [form] field.

4) when i'm done, save , start enforcing protection.

when appears lose functionality of property [form] field , 'place holder' becomes text entry.

any or insight appreciated.

regards ~ karyn

assuming using content controls (with blue surrounds , labels)

 a. if select entire control (by clicking on tag, example) before checking "everyone" box, user able delete control. in case, stop controls being deleted, have select properties of each 1 , check "content control cannot deleted"

 b. if select placeholder text before checking "everyone" box, user should able type in control (or select drop-down) might hope should not able delete control. think option need.
