I have a locked document and an unlocked document. The locked
document allows users to select check boxes for various items;
however, they cannot access some important embedded documents within
that same document. I also have the same document saved as an
unlocked document that will allow users to access the embedded docs;
but not the check boxes within the document. Is there a way to have
part of the document locked and the other part unlocked? Or is there
another way around this that I haven't considered? I want the user
to be able to check the boxes and be able to access the embedded docs.
Separate the check boxes from the rest of the document by inserting a
section break. Use the Protect Document task pane; when you indicate that
you're protecting for forms, you should see a link below that for "Select
sections". Click that to open a dialog where you can uncheck the section(s)
you want to be unprotected.
