Are you referring to the 'Image' problem? Is the image In Line with the
text?

Terry,
Yes, I created 2 separate sections using the procedure exactly as you
describe (otherwise you would not be able to edit the second section at
all
once Protect Forms was put in place). So with that in mind, could you
take a
quick look at my second post and see if there is an easy solution?
Cheers, -Bill

Are you really creating a new section for the second part of the document
or
are you just calling it the second section? Section has a specific
meaning.

All you need to do is at the end your first section, Insert, Section
Break,
Continuous. Now when you choose Protect, you have the option to select
which
section to protect. Obviously, you choose Section 1 and clear section 2
and
start protecting.

Hmmm, I looked at your alternative solutions Graham, and it seems that
we
are
moving into a much more advanced area there and I don't really want to
go
that route if I can avoid it (it will take some time for me to learn
what
a
userform and macros are!). Besides the Forms method is so simple -
even a
caveman could it! - and as I am 90% of the way there, I want to see if
there
is any way I can get this method to work...I still don't understand why
the
second section has problems.

Yes, i agree that "protection for forms is best used for forms" and
that
is
why I only apply that protection to the first section and not the
second.
Why is the "unprotected" 2nd section only partially editable? I can
change
all the text properties of the section - paragraphs, fonts, etc - but
why
not
the properties of an image copied in there? Is this by design (surely
not)
or am I missing something (hopefully yes!)?

I have a single page layout for a report template that is broken into
2
sections. In the first section, there are a bunch of form fields used
for
data entry and i want this section to be protected (ie, editable only
in
the
forms). The bottom half of the page is the second section and must be
completely editable as I need to add figures and images to complete
the
report. I used the Tools-Protect Document option, and selected
Section
1
only for the "Filling in Forms" restriction. Great! Section 1 now
allows
form data entry only and I can now import images into Section 2. The
problem
is that the images are not editable (cannot select the Format Picture
function to resize or move the image) until I turn off the protection
(which
beats the purpose of having it!). So how can I get the second section
to
be
completely editable (ie, can edit pictures) with Protection On in
Section
1?
