How create a doc. with both checkboxes and text insert. possibilit
Hi !
I´m about to create a doc. for a Travel request. The traveller must fill in name etc AND to have a possibility to use the checkboxes. If I lock the doc. for using for checkboxes then you cannot fill in the other cells with name, adress and so on. Can someone tell me how to be able to use both checkboxes and to fill in text in the document ? Kind regards Timo Nordberg Helsingborg |

You can't mix different types of fields in a protected form. Make sure that
you only use form fields--check box form fields and text form fields--and it will work. If you are using Word 2007, use the Legacy Tools button on the Developer tab to insert the appropriate fields. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "TimoErik" wrote in message ... Hi !

You must use form fields wherever data entry is to be permitted. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
