Default Forms

I have created a form that will be used as a template for broadcast emails,
and have run into three hic-ups...

1) I need to be able to format within the text box. This would include
bullets, numbers and/or font formating.

2) I need to be able to run spell check on the text boxes. We all know how
fast fingers can get!

3) I will need to be able to use the Select All, Copy feature to capture all
the information to put it into the email.

Any advice on these three issues?

For 2, See the article "How to enable the spellchecker in a protected
document" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm

For 1 and 3, you cannot do while the document is protected. Considering
what you using the document for, after entering the data, you could then
remove the protection from the document, which would allow you to do 1, 2
and 3. After unprotecting the form, you might want to use Ctrl+A to select
everything and then Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink the (Form)Fields in the
document.
