Can you use mail merge on a protected document?
I'm trying to design a form that has some mail merge fields as well as some
form fields (checkboxes). But when I protect the document the mail merge tool is no longer available. |

Yes, and if you complete a mailmerge (merge to a document) your formfields
will be gone. What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps someone can suggest a way to get it done using different tools. What are you starting with?

I have a 3 page form with form fields (text and check boxes). There are
several fields on the first page that are repeated on the 2nd and 3rd page. I want to be able to enter this data once and autofill on the other pages. Thanks, I appreciate any help...
