Insert pictures in a protected form?
In Word 2003,
I want to create forms that will be document controlled but need to have the ability to enter pictures on them as part of the fill-out of the form? How can you do this? There is no such thing as a "picture form field"? The form will be "protected" as a form, and we cannot allow it to be unprotected to enter a picture. Is there a basic work around for this? or some form of special formatting to allow it? Any suggestions are helpful. |

Insert continuous section breaks before and after the area in which you want the pictures to be entered. In the Protect Document task pane, after selecting "Filling in forms" under Editing restrictions, click the "Select sections..." link. In the dialog, uncheck the section that contains the picture insertion area. Then start enforcing protection. The Insert Picture From File menu item will be available in the unprotected section. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Thank you Jay. That helps quite a bit. Now one more level, waht about in a
table or a portion of a column? like if you have 2 columns of info and the left side column is info, and the right side column needs to be a picture?? Tables, or sections work with this?

Hi Tyler,
You can't insert section breaks inside a table. Either the whole table is protected or the whole table is unprotected, but not half-and-half. If you have a two-column area of a document and you insert continuous section breaks before and after a part of one column, you'll get three sections that are "stacked". The top part of the page (both columns) forms section 1, the middle part of the page (both columns, if you format this section also as two columns) forms section 2, and the bottom part forms section 3. All of section 2, both columns of it, will be unprotected in this setup -- you can't protect just part of a section. This *may* suit your needs, but probably not. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 11:47:02 -0800, "BurZurk" wrote: Thank you Jay.
