Form Cross References
Is the problem that cross-references to text form fields don't update in a
protected document? If so, do the following: Unprotect the document, and then double-click a cross-referenced form field. In the Text Form Field Options dialog box, check the "Calculate on exit" option. Click OK. Repeat for additional form fields. When you are done, reprotect the document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...

Hi
No, the cross references work fine. Its just so the other text in the document can be edited if need be as not all the documents are identical other than the cross references. Colin |

If the text should be editable, why are you using a protected form at all?
Note that if you are saying that *parts* of the document should be editable, you can add a Word section and leave it unprotected. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...

Thanks
The reason I have protected it is that it's the only way I can get the cross references to function. How do I add a Word Section? Colin |

You insert section breaks via Insert | Break, but note that you don't have
to use protected documents for cross-references to work. On the contrary, in unprotected documents you can insert cross-references to several different items (for example, built-in headings, outline-numbered paragraphs, captions, or manually inserted bookmarks) via Insert | Cross-reference. The references can then be updated either manually, for example by selecting the whole document and pressing F9, or semi-automatically, for example on print or when switching to Print Preview and back. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...
