Word forms - using a text box
I have a Word form where I use text and drop down form fields. I would like
to use a text box at the bottom of the form to collect comments/feedback (the text form field is too small). However, when I click the "Protect Document" button I can't tab to the text box or enter any text in it. Anyone know how I can have a protected document but still be able to select and enter text in a text box? Thanks. |

Use a frame or a table cell instead of a text box and don't put it in the
footer view. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org alex wrote: I have a Word form where I use text and drop down form fields.

Word forms - using a text box
Hi Graham. Thanks for the reply. What I ended up doing was putting the text
box in a separate table. Then I inserted a continous break between the table with my form and the table with the text box, and protected the form section while leaving the text box section unprotected.
