Default Protected Word Form-Can't fill in Excel data

Hi,

Have a form in Word, protected it so users can fill in the fields.

However, this doesn't allow them to fill in the Excel worksheet I inserted.

Any suggestions!

Thanks!

Put the worksheet in an unprotected section.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
