Hi ,

Looking for some help with this problem:

Form field document created in Word 2000, subsequently edited and saved with
Word 2003. The fields have different formatting to include font and font
size. When the document is protected without a password (click lock on forms
toolbar) everything works as expected. However, when the document is
protected with a password, every field format changes to the Normal style
(Times New Roman, 12 pt) when any data is typed into it.

Hmmm, under certain circumstances I see this behavior even without protecting
with a password. But if I create specific character styles for this formatting
and apply them to the form fields, the formatting is respected when the
document is protected.


This partially worked. I still have some fields that are placed before
check boxes that still change their format to normal upon exiting. I tried
defining a macro to reapply the style to the field but that results in a
runtime error 4605. As before, if the document is protected without a
password the style is not changed. When the document is password protected,
the style changes when you type data in the field.

Thanks,
Ed
