Locked/Unlocked Document Problems
I have a locked document and an unlocked document. The locked document allows users to select check boxes for various items; however, they cannot access some important embedded documents within that same document. I also have the same document saved as an unlocked document that will allow users to access the embedded docs; but not the check boxes within the document. Is there a way to have part of the document locked and the other part unlocked? Or is there another way around this that I haven't considered? I want the user to be able to check the boxes and be able to access the embedded docs. -- thargett |

I want the user to be able to check the boxes and be able to access the embedded docs. Separate the check boxes from the rest of the document by inserting a section break. Use the Protect Document task pane; when you indicate that you're protecting for forms, you should see a link below that for "Select sections". Click that to open a dialog where you can uncheck the section(s) you want to be unprotected. -- 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. |

It already shows a section break (next page) at the end of the section with the check boxes. I tried only protecting section one (which is the section with the check boxes) and that didn't work either. Thanks for your help with this. -- thargett |

It lets me check/uncheck the boxes; however I'm unable to open the embedded documents now.
