Shortcut keys in a protected document
Hi,
I have some symbols in a word template that are inserted into my documents with shortcut keys. The template works on all of my documents except for one. That document is a form and a protected document. The shortcut keys work when the form is unprotected. Once the document is protected so we can use it as a form the shortcut key do not work. Is there a setting in Word to allow the use of shortcut keys in a protected document? Thanks |

Shortcut keys in a protected document
Hi ?B?RVI=?=,
I have some symbols in a word template that are inserted into my documents with shortcut keys. The template works on all of my documents except for one. That document is a form and a protected document. The shortcut keys work when the form is unprotected. Once the document is protected so we can use it as a form the shortcut key do not work. Is there a setting in Word to allow the use of shortcut keys in a protected document? No... It's actually not the shortcut key, but the Insert/Symbol command that's disabled when the focus is in a form field. You'd need to use a macro that - disables document protection - inserts the symbol - re-enables protection without losing formfield input Record inserting each symbol in a macro. Then edit the macro to add the lines to unprotect/protect the document. You'll find the basic code for that on this page in a couple of the examples. http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/FormFram.htm Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
