Form Fields & Graphics
In a table I have added various Text fields and Drop-Down boxes from
MS-Word's Forms toolbar. What I'm struggling with is that I need to add a "graphics" field whereby a user can copy a PowerPoint diagram and paste it into my MS-Word form. Is that possible, or is there a work-around? Please keep in mind that I need to protect the document so that the Text fields and Drop-Down boxes work correctly. Thanks in advance for any help. Bob |

Form Fields & Graphics
Your best bet would be to insert a section above and below the area
where you want the graphic inserted and then do not protect that area so the user can insert as needed. The only other alternative would be to write code or use a MACROBUTTON that would temporarily unlock the document, open the common dialog box that would allow the user to choose the needed graphic and then relock the document. But unless you understand VBA, you'll have to go with the first option and redesign your form if necessary to leave that area open. Good luck... Dian D.

Dian,
Thanks for your help! I forgot that I could leave a given section unprotected while protecting the rest of the form. Bob "Dian D.
