2007 field bullets
I am using Word 2007 to fill in a locked template. I want to be able to use
numbering and bullets within the field as this is an SOP. In 2007 this appears unavailable. When i use another computer that has 2003, it is available and works fine. Any suggestions? |

2007 field bullets
Hi ?B?R2RvZ2c=?=,
I am using Word 2007 to fill in a locked template. I want to be able to use numbering and bullets within the field as this is an SOP. In 2007 this appears unavailable. When i use another computer that has 2003, it is available and works fine. Please define "locked template" and "field" in more detail so that we can be sure we know what you have. Certainly, what worked in 2003 should still work in 2007. If we're talking about form fields, then bullets and numbering surely did *not* work in a 2003 document's form fields unless you had some kind of macro support.

2007 field bullets
To better define:
I am have a Word document template I have locked for editing, to be used for my employees to fill-in information. I am calling the areas you tab around the document to enter information fields.

Hi ?B?R2RvZ2c=?=,
To better define: I am have a Word document template I have locked for editing, to be used for my employees to fill-in information. I am calling the areas you tab around the document to enter information fields. I'd like to double-check this to make sure we're on the same wave-length he In Word 2007, you'd go to the Developer tab, click the "Protect Document" button and choose the entry "Restrict Formatting and Editing". From the task pane you use "No changes (read-only)" in Step 2. You select blocks of text and activate a checkbox (such as "Everyone") in the "Groups" list. Then you go to Step 3 and "Start Enforcing Protection". Is this correct? If not, please detail what you mean. When I follow these steps I have no trouble using Bullets and Numbering in the unprotected blocks of text. I am using Word 2007 to fill in a locked template.

2007 field bullets
The document I have is a Word document created in 2003. It is a protected
template with the fill-in capability. When I try to fill in one of the fields using Word 2007, it does not allow for the use of bullet points or numbering. I need to enter bullet points or numbering into one of the fields. Word 2003 allows me to do this, but Word 2007 does not.

2007 field bullets
Hi ?B?R2RvZ2c=?=,
The document I have is a Word document created in 2003. It is a protected template with the fill-in capability. When I try to fill in one of the fields using Word 2007, it does not allow for the use of bullet points or numbering. I need to enter bullet points or numbering into one of the fields. Word 2003 allows me to do this, but Word 2007 does not. But you still haven't confirmed (or rebutted) that the steps I describe are what was used to provide this "fill-in" capability. To me, it sounds very much like the document has been protected as a FORM, not for editing. Bullets and numbering are not (and have never been) available in a document of that type.
