I'm new to the Discussion Group so I'm not sure I responded in the correct
place with my first post.

I have to say that I agree 100% with jjjdel. In WP, locking a cell is
quick, simple, and painless. If Word had the same ability to lock a cell in
a simple table it would make using Word far less frustrating.

Suggest you create a way to lock a cell in a table so it cannot be typed in
until unlocked. This is helpful for use in forms that use tables. When moving
from cell to cell using the tab key, locked cells should be simply bypassed
and the cursor should land in the next unlocked cell. Locked cells can
contain instructions or other matter that does not need to be changed. It
would be helpful to have an option to unlock all locked cells in an entire
table for ease in editing. After editing, the same cells can be easly
relocked.

This feature is available in WordPerfect and its absence is one source of my
frustration with Word.
