I want to lock an electronic worksheet with text form fields?
I made a lot of electronic worksheets for my students to retrieve from our
student shares folder and put them in their own folders and answer the questions in text form fields. I was able to lock them easily in older office version. I can't seem to find it on the newer Office. |

I was able to lock them easily in older office version. I can't seem to find it on the newer Office. In Word 2007, go to Office button Word Options Customize. Set the category to All Commands. Scroll down the list and click the Lock command, then click the Add button in the middle of the dialog, and click OK. This adds the Lock button to the Quick Access Toolbar, and it will turn forms protection on and off with one click. There's a longer path that doesn't involve customizing the Quick Access Toolbar: Go to the Review tab of the ribbon and click the Protect Document button. Check the box under Editing Restrictions, and then choose "Filling in forms" from the dropdown under it. Click the Start Enforcing Protection button, and click OK in the password prompt. By my count, that's seven clicks instead of one every time you want to protect a form... ouch. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
