Forms trouble- locking only one section, leaving second section unlocked for text entry
Hi Kr,
I'm corresponding with another user, trying to help him design a survey. He is using the forms toolbar, and has put a bunch of checkboxes (in a table) in section 1, followed by a continuous section break that includes a few questions for free text entry by the respondents. When locking the form, it doesn't provide the option to only lock section 1, so the whole form ends up locked and when the user clicks on the questions in section 2 to provide free-form answers, the visible document automatically pops back to the top of the document. Can someone share the trick to keeping different sections unlocked? I'm using Word2003, the person I'm helping I think is using Word 2000. In Word 2000: Tools/Protect document displays a dialog box (not a task pane like in 2003). In that dialog box, once the option to protect as a FORM is activated, a button named "Section" should be available. Click on the button and the same list you see in Word 2003 should appear where the sections are listed. Make sure there's a checkmark next to Section 1 and no checkmark next to Section 2. If your friend isn't getting the Sections list, make sure he's really inserted a section break :-) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
