I am creating a word doc to be used between departments. As the document
goes from dept to dept each person will add a word doc to the form as well as
change some status via a dropdown.

I have the form all created, but when I lock the form down there is no place
to "add the required form". They can only type where I have created a place
on the form, and even where I have created a few spaces, cut/paste is not an
option for the user.

Even when I insert a doc into a regular blank word doc the inserted doc
opens up before it pastes. Will not juts drop in a file.

My suggestion is to create where you want the new form to be pasted as an
unprotected section of your document - that is the only way in a form that
will allow cut/paste. (That I've found). However, it will not be protected
when forwarded to the next department by this process. I hope this helps a
little.

so lock the document, then create a text box that is unprotected and insert
the data to that box?

so doc is locked but insert box is not?

I will try...what about when I Insert for some reason I do not insert a
file, but the actual doc in its normal form? It sort of jumps in.

Thanks for your input.
