I can't change any other words (like staff description, in-kind contributions, etc).

I am wondering how I could make a column after the "total" column? Anyone know?

can you move the sliders along the tab/ruler bar?

maybe the fields are locked? try this:

How can I lock the fields in my document?
Keywords: Lock Fields Document
Posted May 17, 1996

After composing a series of documents using Insert - Field, such as the date field, Word automatically updates the field each time you open the document. However, if you want to lock that particular field to keep Word from updating it, you must do the following:

1. Highlight the field you want to lock
2. Press Ctrl+F11 or Ctrl+3

Locked fields look the same way as unlocked fields. The only way to tell them apart is to select the field and press F9 to update the field. If the field is locked, Word will not update it and your computer will beep to alert you.

To unlock a field:

1. Highlight the field you want to unlock
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F11 or Ctrl+4

I can't even highlight any of the field because it is locked.

Because proposal template they sent to us was word. But now they want us to include another column to one of the fields and that is why I am having a hard time because everything in the doc is lock except for the fill-out space.

Actually, with the whole documents...it is hard to do just excel because there are parts where you have to write essays. SO i would do it in word but i wont make it this hard to insert a column!

I would redo the whole thing in Microsoft Excel because Word is retarded

And.. uh.. posting a teaser picture on a forum like this is probably the worst thing to do :p
