Creating check boxes in protected document
Hi
I have a document with multiple sections. One section has a checklist in it so that you tick the options you need. I have protected that section only via Tools, Protect Document..etc. However, even though the rest of the document can be amended I am unable to change the header/footer of that particular section. Any advice most welcome |

Protected documents don't allow changing of headers and footers. You will
need to create a toolbar button that runs a macro to unprotect (reprotect) the document if you want users to be able to change those areas. Perhaps you'd be better of with the type of form described he http://www.officearticles.com/word/e...osoft_word.htm Or perhaps you can tell us why the user will need to enter the header, and we can provide a different solution. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Elmo via OfficeKB.com" u14889@uwe wrote in message news:55d47a6e4d55c@uwe...

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration of these. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
