Hi ?B?b3RpbGlh?=,

I have a table , the cells have text form fields. I'd like to be able to
copy and paste a portion of the text form field. It works if the text form
fields are not in a table cell.

There's nothing you can do about this. This is a structural deficiency in how
Word handles form fields that's been around for more than ten years.

I take you'd only want text, not any formatting? I could imagine using a
macro to pick up the text, display it in a UserForm ("dialog box"), where the
user could then select only the text to be copied. The code behind the
UserForm would then copy the selection to the clipboard.

Would something like that work for you? Which version of Word?
