Having a Building Block gallery and Check boxes in same document
Hi All
Word 2007 - Challenge: Having a Building Block Gallery (Content Control) and a Check Box (Legacy Form) in the same document. Can it be done? Basically I just wanted to create a document with Content Controls where, using BB Galleries, I could select lots of pre-defined 'paragraphs' and also different options using Drop-down Boxes. All was well. Now I just needed some Check-boxes - but as stated elsewhere, you can't check/uncheck 'em unless you Restrict (Protect Document) your doc to "Filling in forms". But then the BB-Gals don't work. Before I disregard the idea of having Check-boxes, is there any of you who can tell me if there is a solution/work-around? Of all the Content Controls I found that only "BBGals" and "Picture CC" stop working when Restricting to Filling in forms. The rest still work (Rich Text, Text, Combo, Drop-Down, DatePicker). Tried to "section in" the part with the Check-boxes and only protecting that, but the BBGals still go offline. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! -- - Deploy Schmeploy |
