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! |

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Need to place active hyperlink in protected form
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?
