Content Control Titles Vanishing
When a form is created using various Content Controls, and then those
Controls are set to "Content Control cannot be deleted" and the Editing restrictions re set to "Filling in forms," as soon as I click the button, "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" all of the Control titles vanish. They are important information to my form. Can the be kept visible? |

They are important information to my form. Can the be kept visible? It doesn't appear that this is going to work. Instead, you may have to place separate text next to the content controls. By the way, forms protection of the type you're using is meant only for legacy form fields (which you'll find on the Legacy Tools button in the Controls group). When you're using content controls, there's a better alternative: After inserting the text and content controls, select the entire document and insert a rich-text content control. Set that one's properties to "cannot be edited" and "cannot be deleted". The regular text will be protected against editing, but the embedded content controls will still work. The advantage of this method is that it doesn't disable spell checking, hyperlinks, or other things that don't work in documents that are protected for forms. Unfortunately, it does turn off the title tags of the embedded content controls. I don't see anything you can do about that. -- 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. |
