Hello again!
I will try to explaing what I mean as clearly as possible.
I have made an electronic form in Word 2007 which is to serve as the
template for a number of study guides for an educational program. There are
lots of standard fields on each form, like what chapters to read, which
progress test to take, book references, etc.
As there is one such sheet per study frame (and there are a lot of study
frames), I wanted to make this form to simplify the making of these study
guides and ensure that the layout stays correct. What I did was the following:
I went to the menu Developer -- Controls in Word, to insert the content
control field which I wanted to use (mostly the "Rich text" control). After
inserting the controls I wanted, I proceeded with protecting the document and
allowing data entry only into form fields, to make sure no part of the
document can be changed apart from entering data into the content controls
that I placed.
This all works as it is supposed to. However, much of the data to be input
into this form already exists in other documents. Thus, I would like to copy
this text from the other document and paste it into the relevant content
control field in the study guides instead of having to type it in again.
However, this seems impossible. The content control fields seem to allow
neither data to be pasted into them nor data to be copied/cut from them. So,
what I was wondering is if there is some way to circumvent this?
I hope this has made the issue more clear to you.

Hi ?B?VG9yZmlubiBCcm9ra2U=?=,
I'm trying to make a form in Word 2007 where I use content controls to
control the formatting of the text which is input, so that I can lock the
rest of the document for editing. However, I would like to be able to cut and
paste text into these content control fields, but I have not been able to
find a way to do so.
Is this possible? If yes: How?
Could you please be more specific about the settings you're using, and give a
detailed scenario description about what's not working? I'm having trouble
following exactly what your after...
