deleting irrelevant sections of a form
I am creating a form in which there are sections which may be completely
irrelevant to some users of the form. I'm trying to find a way that the user can delete lines in the form which are not applicable. Is there a way to do this, other than just training everyone to unlock the form, delete what they don't need, and re-lock? |

deleting irrelevant sections of a form
Is there a way you can create different forms, depending on what should
be filled out? If not, that is, if the needs vary (in a way that cannot be predicted) between users, I'd just leave things the way they are. I definitely wouldn't allow users to unprotect and modify the form, since this defeats the purpose of using a protected document in the first place. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mmh78" wrote in message news  I am creating a form in which there are sections which may be completely irrelevant to some users of the form.

deleting irrelevant sections of a form
There really isn't a way to create different forms because each client has
individual needs and goals. It is in the goals section that I want users to delete unnecessary goals. Is there a way to lock most of the form, but leave that section unprotected?

deleting irrelevant sections of a form
Of course. Insert section breaks and then protect only the sections
containing form fields. -- Suzanne S.

deleting irrelevant sections of a form
Now that's the simple solution--which I obviously didn't think of. g

deleting irrelevant sections of a form
Well, we got there by a roundabout means; it wasn't obvious from the outset
that this was what the OP wanted. -- Suzanne S.
