Protected documetn in Word 2003
I am creating some Word 2003 templates in which users may only edit certain
sections and use specified formatting (e.g. a letter template where the user may only enter the body of the letter but not touch the signature information, headers, footers etc.). I've configured this using the Protect Document feature and it is all working properly. However, I've now been asked if the templates can allow diagrams (e.g. organisational charts) to be inserted. When the document is protected, the Diagram option on the Insert menu is disabled and I can't find a way to enable. Is this possible and, if so, how? Many thanks in advance for any help. Alan |

You can have an unprotected section in which you could, I believe, insert a
diagram or other drawing. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
