Navigating Form Fields in Protected and Unprotected Sections
In unprotected document, pressing F11 or Shift+F11 quickly moves cursor to
next field or previous field. Text form fields exist in both Protected and Unprotection sections in one document. Pressing F11 or Shift+F11 no longer moves to next or previous field in unprotected sections. How do you quickly move to form fields in unprotected sections? -- Judy K |

Navigating Form Fields in Protected and Unprotected Sections
There are many things you cannot do in a protected document. As you have
noticed, using F11 or Shift+F11 is one of those things. What is the purpose of having form fields in unprotected sections? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JKilpatrick_Sail" wrote in message news In unprotected document, pressing F11 or Shift+F11 quickly moves cursor to next field or previous field.

Navigating Form Fields in Protected and Unprotected Sections
We have system information filling into unprotected area, so can not protect
that section and then form fields that need to answered in that unprotected section. Protected section is for calculations. So, there's no way to quickly move to form fields in unprotected sections? I'm thinking of having user review information filling in from the system, making any changes, then having macrobutton to quickly protect and then user can complete the form fields. -- Judy K "Stefan Blom" wrote: There are many things you cannot do in a protected document.

Navigating Form Fields in Protected and Unprotected Sections
I'm sure you could use a macro to move between the form fields, but you may
want to ask about that in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general. My knowledge on VBA is limited. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JKilpatrick_Sail" wrote in message ...
