Default Tables, protected forms and fields

If you'd like to send me the problem document, I'll take a look. Be sure to
describe the problem in your cover email.

I did all that,. I replicated all the steps in the other cells. It just
won't let me inset the REF field into two cells.

The usual way to do this would be to use form fields in the initial form

and
REF fields (referring to the bookmarks of the form fields) in the rest

(see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm). Is that what you're

doing? If
you set each of the form fields to "Calculate on exit," the REF fields

are
updated automatically.

If the document is unprotected and you can't access a given cell in a

table,
it might be that the paragraph formatting is the issue. Select that cell
along with adjacent ones and go to Format | Paragraph. Make sure the
alignment is Left and there are no indents.

I am creating identical forms on a single document using Word tables

and
fields. I fill in one table and three more forms are filled in

automatically
with the same data. I've protected the document, except for the

initial
form
that I fill in. While the document is unprotected, I'm putting in

fields
and
referencing them back to the source form. However, one cell is not

accepting
the field. When I try navigating to this cell by tabbing to it, it

skips
this
cell. Is this cell haunted? 8-0
