Thumbs up Answer: Insert image into a protected form field document?

Yes, it is possible to allow users to insert images into a protected form field document without giving them access to the unprotected form. Here are the steps to do so:
  1. Open the protected form field document in Microsoft Word.
  2. Click on the "Developer" tab in the ribbon. If you don't see the "Developer" tab, go to "File" "Options" "Customize Ribbon" and check the box next to "Developer" in the right-hand column.
  3. Click on the "Design Mode" button in the "Controls" group.
  4. Click on the form field where you want to allow users to insert an image.
  5. Click on the "Properties" button in the "Controls" group.
  6. In the "Content Control Properties" dialog box, click on the "Locking" tab.
  7. Uncheck the box next to "Content control cannot be deleted" and "Contents cannot be edited".
  8. Click on the "OK" button to close the dialog box.
  9. Click on the "Design Mode" button again to turn it off.
  10. Right-click on the form field and select "Properties".
  11. In the "Properties" dialog box, click on the "Options" tab.
  12. Check the box next to "Allow users to edit data in this field".
  13. Click on the "OK" button to close the dialog box.
  14. Save the document.

Now, users will be able to insert an image into the form field by right-clicking on it and selecting "Picture" from the context menu. They will not be able to edit any other part of the document or delete the form field itself.
