How do you force a Save As in a Word based form?
I got a chance to try the suggestion. I went to Tools, Options, Save but I
do not have the 'Read Only' box; I have the following: Always create backup copy Prompt for document properties Allow Fast saves Prompt to save Normal template Allow background saves Save date only for forms Embed True Type fonts Embed linguistic data [two items grayed out] Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drives Save AutoRecover info every: 10 minutes Embed Smart tags Save smart tags as XML properties in Web pages Default Format: Save Word files as: Word Document (*.doc) Disable features introduced after: [grayed out] What do I do now? Thank you. Diane R. "Ms_PC" wrote: First create your form then protect it by applying the 'read only' option. You will find this under Tools, Options and Save Tab then check the 'Read Only' box. When users open the file a pop up messge will ask them if they want to open the file as 'ready only' which allows them to open and use the form, but when they click save instead of writing over the original the 'save-as' box appears. Hope this helps. "Diane R." wrote: I would like to force users of my Word document form to do a "File/Save As" so they will not leave the boxes filled in when they exit. Can this be done of do I have to make it a template? If I do how do I make it easy enough for them to access the form? |
