Content and legacy controls
I have created a form in Word 2007 that includes both legacy check boxes and
Text content controls. I want to protect the document from changes to all but editing the controls. When I use the Document Protection button, the check box controls operate, but the Text box controls do not. Then I read Jay Freedman's response to the Content Control Titles Vanishing question explaining that content controls cannot be protected in this manner. So I removed protection, selected the entire document and added a Rich text control. Now, the Text box content controls work but the check box controls do not work. What is the procedure to use both types of controls and provide protection to all form content and still allow users to complete the information in the controls? I could not find a check box content control, only the Legacy check box control. Also, the check box control does not operate until I add protection and allow editing of controls. Is there a way to test check box controls before adding protection, or will they only work with protection on? -- |
