Hi
thanks for picking up my query
a) were now using MS Word 2003 Service pack 2, we were using MS 2000 before
that
b) I was using the checkbox from the control toolbox toolbar
c) The mail merged information will not merge because the form is locked. I
have to protect the whole document as it is the only way to suuport the
sections which are proteced.
In .RTF files, although you have locked the form, it still merges the
information into the sections you have left unproteced
I hope this clarifies
Regards

Because of the recent update by MS Word, you can only use the tick box
which
comes on the Forms Toolbar. I have protected parts of the document that
use
these tick boxes so that the users do not have to click on the Pad Lock
(Unlock/lock the form) to write in the relevant sections they need to fill
in
However, because the form is protected (parts of it) and the padlock is
on,
it wont merge the data as it says "The document is protected, please
re-merge
the data etc".
How can i stop this from coming up? Ive solved this issue with .RTF files,
but now having difficulty with .DOT filenames
Please Help!
Warm Regards
