Forms
Apologies if this is the wrong group but I cannot find one for either
'general' word or 'forms'. I want to be able to create a form which allows the users to edit parts of it - i.e. some text which has already been entered but will need to be edited. is this possible without them unlocking the form? Many thanks Chris |

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You can put default text in form fields which can be edited. Otherwise, you can unlock sections of the document and allow editing of those sections. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/sections.htm Hope this helps, -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
