Text from fields, templates, protection, and tracked changes?
I've created a document template using dropdown lists and text form fields.
I need to switch on the document protection to get these elements to work but I really need to be able to track the changes in text form fields. However, the protection disables the tracked changes. If I turn off the protection tracked chages works, but when I protect the document again the information in the dropdownlists is lost. Any ideas how I can get around this? Thanks |

Thanks There isn't anything you can do about the incompatibility of forms protection and track changes, but you can arrange to reprotect the form without losing the field contents.
