Thank you for the idea...but the image gets inserted programatically by Crystal

Any others out there?

Now I can export to a Word Document, and the only problem is when the
user is clicking through the fields to fill them in, if he he/she
isn't careful and clicks outside of a data field then the picture
(aka the form) is selected and if they tap backspace or delete the
picture/form is deleted, and all that's left is the data fields.

Is there any way in Word to protect this image from being deleted?

Insert it in the header as a floating graphic, positioned where necessary
(http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm). The user would have
to open the header pane in order to select it, which isn't likely.
