Text Form Field question...
I added a form text field inside a table in a new form I wrote. When I type
something inside that field, I cannot format the text with the standard formatting tools (bold, italic, underline and mainly bullets and numbers with is what I need to do) so in summary. I want to have a 1 column and 1 row table where I can type free form text, with bullets, numbers and other formatting. Thanks |

You can place a section break before the table, another after the table, and use the Select Sections link on the Protect Document task pane to leave the table's section unprotected and able to be formatted (assuming you need forms protection for form fields in the other sections). Remove the form field from the table, as it won't operate in the unprotected area. If you have Word 2007 (and everyone else who needs to fill in your form also has 2007), you can use a Rich Text Content Control instead of the form field. -- 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. |
