Default Clear form fields when document is protected and more..

You should make the form a template (.dot) file rather than a document
(.doc) file.

Then when people use it they will, by default, create a document based on it
without changing the underlying template.

If you also want to stop them saving the documents they create, you can
attempt to do that with VBA but you can only stop casual saves - not
determined users.

Hi,

1. As I can see the formfield button "clear form fields" is greyed out
and cannot be used when the document is locked/protected. I would like
this feature as I complete the form, then print, then have to erase the
complete form.. How? (protected with possibility to complete forms).

2. As the document is closed I must ensure that other users doesnt save
any content to the document, how can this be done? .. Ie; users that
open the document are allowed to fill in forms and print the document,
but not allowed to save any filled in data. how?

Thanks,

Øystein
