I am creating an online form using the content controls in the Developer tab
and have have put in a rich text content control, and the protected the
document restrict formatting and editing editing restrictions set as
filling in forms.
I had thought the rich text control would allow the person who fills in the
form to format the content e.g. add bullets or make a bit bold. However, the
formatting options are greyed out, presumable because of the editing
restrictions. This seems to me to make the rich text control the same as the
plain text control.
What is the difference between the two controls and how can I allow rich
text formatting at the same time as protecting the form?
Am a bit confused !!!
