How to protect image in Word from being deleted
I needed to take a standard, established paper form and output data from a
SQL Server on top of this form, so I created a Crystal Report with a image of the form and the data fields on top of it by f Now I can export to a Word Document, and the only problem is when the user is clicking through the fields to fill them in, if he he/she isn't careful and clicks outside of a data field then the picture (aka the form) is selected and if they tap backspace or delete the picture/form is deleted, and all that's left is the data fields. Is there any way in Word to protect this image from being deleted? |

Is there any way in Word to protect this image from being deleted? Insert it in the header as a floating graphic, positioned where necessary (http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm). The user would have to open the header pane in order to select it, which isn't likely. -- 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. |
