Insert Hyperlink to a form
Hello there,
Is there anyway to allow users to add a hyperlink to a protected form. I know how to add a usable hyperlink and then protect the form, but I would like my users to be able to add their own hyperlinks to form fields not just text. Any help will be appreciated Judith |

Insert Hyperlink to a form
There is no way to put a functioning hyperlink inside a form field. Word
simply doesn't support that functionality. There is a workaround using MacroButton fields to add a static hyperlink to a protected form at design time; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nksInForms.htm. Allowing users to add MacroButton fields containing hyperlinks at run time would be considerably more difficult. You would need a userform to accept the URL (and possibly to validate it, at least for syntax). The macro would have to unprotect the document, build the necessary field, and reprotect the document. -- 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.

Insert Hyperlink to a form
Thanks alot Jay. I thought that might be the case. I'm creating assesment
documents for students and they need to be able to link to other evidence documents. Could you recommend another piece of software that can do this while keeping the rest of the document protected?
