Forms Protected (1 Viewer)

[shamas21]

Hi All

I have a microsoft Word Documents with Form controls on it. In order for the forms to work, the document needs to be protected in order for the controls to be locked down and usable.

My problem is that when the form is protected, its not possible to insert bullet points, change text formatting etc in the rest of the document!

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

i'm new to forms myself, but i think the idea is to set up the document so that only the stuff in the grey textboxes is user-formattable. Set up form fields for everything you want users to edit. Everything else is "locked".

do you know how to use checkboxes? i've been waiting (in vain) for an answer about adding up checkboxes in a totals column: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=157851

I found out more for you:

the part where it says "add sections" - allows you to have a protected section along with an unprotected one. hope it helps.
