Delete a page in a protected form
I am completing a Word form that was created by someone else. When I added
several lines of content into one of the form fields, a page break occurred later in the document, creating an extra page in the form that I need to get rid of. If I unprotect the document to delete the page break, I lose everything I have already entered when I re-protect the form. Is there any way to delete the extra page without unprotecting the document, or is there some other way around this? (I tried to post this question earlier but it looks as if it dod not go through. I apologize in advance for any repeats.) |

I apologize in advance for any repeats.) This is based on the instructions for reprotecting the document without losing the field contents, at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...lfResetOff.htm. Since you didn't create this form, though, you need slightly different instructions so you won't have to create a macro in the document. After you unprotect the form and delete the extra page break, press Alt+F11 to open the macro editor. There, press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window in the lower right area. Copy this line and paste it into the Immediate window: ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, noreset:=True With the cursor at the end of the line, press Enter. Then you can close the macro editor and save the form. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
