Locked Fields
Good Day,
I recently came across a Word Document with locked fields, that is I can only type in those fields but not outside them. The fields have a gray background and grow as needed. I cant delete or do anything else outside the fields. My questions: how is this done? How can I unlock the document? Thanks for your help. |
