Formatting Date in Cell in Table
Does the table cell contain a text form field? If so, you can specify the
desired date format for the field, in the Text Form Field Options dialog box. To display the dialog box, unprotect the document and then double-click the field. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "transcriptlady" wrote in message ...

Formatting Date in Cell in Table
Yes, it contains a text form field and the desired date format has been
specified, but when I protect the document and enter a date format different than the one specified for that field, it does not indicate to the user that they need to correct the format. Is there any way to make the user enter it correctly on the form by telling them the date they entered is not in the correct format?

Formatting Date in Cell in Table
When the user *tabs* out of the field, Word checks that the format is
correct. If Word recognizes the date, the chosen format will be applied; if Word doesn't recognize the entered date, an error message should display. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "transcriptlady" wrote in message ...
