Multiple entries selected for quick parts
I have a template form which was developed in Word 2003, which utilizes form
checkboxes, dropdown, text and autotext. I understand that autotext has been replaced with the Quick Parts Building Blocks. The first problem I have is that the form needs to be protected in order for the checkboxes to work. However, when I do that, the Quick Parts button (if I go the Content Control route)/Building Block Organizer is disabled. When I don't protect the document, then when I do select a Quick Part (via the Content Control) which is assigned a specific category, I cannot select another entry in that same Quick Part section. Essentially, in Word 2003, you were able to select an autotext entry, hit enter to get to the next line and then select anoth autotext entry. Word 2007 doesn't seem to allow that functionality. Any help would be appreciated. -- Sally |

The AutoText entries should still work as with your document protected,
however you have to give them an extra "push". Type the name of the AutoText entry and then Press F3 to get it to insert. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Yes, I knew I could type the short form and press F3. Unfortunately, this is
for new home inspectors that are very unfamilar with Word itself, let along memorizing short forms of autotext. In Word 2003, at least I could enable the Autotext toolbar and by using "styles" it would show the name of the style and only have the text which I had put in that style. -- Sally "Sally" wrote: I have a template form which was developed in Word 2003, which utilizes form checkboxes, dropdown, text and autotext.

Well, another option would be to create fields that are specific to your
Quick Parts and use the Content Control, tied to the Quick Parts (AutoText) and then only those AutoText fields that you want available in the certain area would be displayed. They could then click the down arrow and select the specific clause. http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...-controls.aspx -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.
