Default Need to place active hyperlink in protected form

Hi,

I am trying to have a hyperlink in a cell of a table stay active when the
form is protected. The hyperlink is visible, but not usable when I turn
protection on. Is there any way I can exclude the cell from protection, or
otherwise make the hyperlink available?

Thanks!

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nksInForms.htm for a
macro-based workaround.

The only other way is to put the hyperlink in an unprotected section. That
requires one or more section breaks to separate the unprotected section from
the protected section(s). Because a section break cannot exist inside a
table, you would be forced to move the hyperlink outside the table.

Thanks Jay, I was able to play with it and get it to work on the PC I made it
on, but when I open it on another PC, it say "the macros in this project are
disabled". How can I enable macros so whoever opens the form will be able to
access the link?
