Table in Protected form?
Hello,
I am creating a form from a current Word document. On the current form, there are hyperlinks and tables for the user to input data. I want to protect the form, so that I can add checkboxes. I found a macro that will make the hyperlinks function on a protected form. Great. But when I protect the form, you can't enter data into the table anymore. How can I create a form (protection) and have an table for users to key in data. This is a checklist so as they go from step to step, they sometimes have to put in notes on each step. Hence a table. Thanks, Tony |

I found a post with an answer from Jay Freedman. It said to place text form fields in the table cells. When the form is protected, the user can still input into the text form fields. Bingo! Just what I needed. Tony |
