How do I retain shortcuts in protected form (eg. alt-shift-left)?
Standard shortcut keys like alt-shift-left (for OutlinePromote) stop working
when the document is protected for filling in forms. How can I get around this? |

How do I retain shortcuts in protected form (eg. alt-shift-left)?
The purpose of locking up a form is so that the ONLY modifications
that can be done to the document is within the form fields. So nothing can be done to the boilerplate text and many features are not available within form fields. Are you trying to promote text within a form field or within the locked boilerplate? If you need to modify the boilerplate text, you'd have to add a section and unprotect that area. If within a form field, I don't know of any way to get around features that are not permitted to be used within a form field...such as outline changes??? Dian D.

The document has a protected section (locked for filling in forms) and an
uprotected section for free text. Shortcut keys that previously worked will no longer work in the unprotected section. "Dian D.
