Editing restrictions - Filling in Forms & Exceptions capability
Is it possible to enable 'Filling in Forms' under Editing Restrictions and
somehow use the 'Exceptions' option - I have set the editing restrictions to 'Filling in forms' and would like to be able to use the hyperlinks set within the Table of Contents.? |

No, you can use only one kind of protection per document. If you must choose 'Filling in forms' because the document contains form fields, then the kind of protection that allows exceptions is not available. However, if you put in a section break between the Table of Contents and the rest of the document, there will be a "Select sections" link in the Protect Document task pane. Click that link, and in the resulting dialog uncheck the section that contains the TOC. When you click a hyperlinked TOC entry, if the target heading or other item is in a protected section, the cursor will jump to the nearest form field because it can't go to protected non-field text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
