Tables & Columns
Hi Gail,
Put your table between section breaks. Insert text form fields in the columns that still may be accessed, possibly with a default value. Protect your document for form fields (Tools | Protect document... | check the option under '2.' in the task pane | select 'Filling in forms') Choose 'Select sections...' in the task pane and only leave the section with your table checked. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Tables & Columns
Hi Cooz,
That only works with rows, not columns, and results in the table being split into multiple separate tables - which plays havoc with any formulae trying to add columns, etc. Cheers "Cooz" wrote in message ...

Hi macropod,
That so? Not with me. I can create a table with read-only columns this way... no problem whatsoever.
