Inserting Photos into a protected form
Using Word/Office 2003.
Have a protected form that I would like the Users to be able to insert a photo into one of the form fields. Does anyone know how I can do this without removing the forms protection? Thanks, atmusky |

Inserting Photos into a protected form
I know it can be done and that there is a web page that tells how, but I
can't find it. Here is how I would start: Have a field with an on-entry macro attached. This field does not hold the photo, but activates the macro to insert, change it. The macro would: Pop up a message box asking if the person wants to change / insert a photo from a file. If yes, unprotect the form and display the Word dialog box to insert a picture. Get the name of the file from the dialog box (don't execute it). Insert the picture inside the bookmark, preserving the bookmark. Reprotect the form, not resetting the data. Instead of an on-entry macro to a field, you could have a custom toolbar in your template with a button / menu choice to run your macro. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. (This will require that the photo be in a separate file that the user can find.)

Inserting Photos into a protected form
If you go to Tools-Protect Document then you have a dropdown list showing the
editing restrictions. If you tick the box then click on the arrow there is something there regarding filling in forms. I'm afraid I don't have any experience regarding forms so I don't know if this will help. Also, if you highlighted the part you would like the user to add the picture then go to Tools-Protect Document then click 'Read Only' under the editing restrictions. Once you do this you should have another option come up asking you if you would like the selected area to be made available for others to change. Hope this helps.
