Word 2007. Paste text info protected template.
Hi!
I have created a document in Word 2007 with a few Rich Text content controls. I enabled Restrict Formatting and Editing and selected "Allow only this type of editing in the document" - Filling in forms. Then I saved the document as a Word Template. When I then open the .dotx document there is no problem entering text into the Rich Text content controls. But for some reason I can't copy text from I.E. notepad and paste it into the Rich Text content controls. How do I protect my template so our users don't change the body text. But still will be able to copy text from somewhere else and paste it into the Rich Text content controls? Best regards Erik Droszcz |

Word 2007. Paste text info protected template.
What you are describing, the inability to Paste when using content controls
in a document protected for filling in forms, is a known issue. :-( There are a couple workaround you can use: - Do not use "Protect Document" and instead, in the Properties of each content controls select the "CC cannot be deleted option". Then select your document and insert a Rich Text content control. Modify the Properties for the newly inserted Rich Text content control and select both Locking options: CC cannot be deleted and CC cannot be edited. - Use the "No Changes (Read Only)" protection type and set each content control as an Exception. Note that in for the first workaround savvy users can modify the document if they want by altering the content control properties so if you need password protection then the "No Changes (Read Only)" method is best solution. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Coauthor of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/boo...x#AboutTheBook Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Erik Droszcz" wrote in message ...
