cannot attach document to protected template
I have created a template in word XP and have inserted text form fields. eg:
surname I have copied and pasted a text form fields as links in HTML format (ie paste special - link- HTML format) as I want the surname to appear at the top of the page as well as in the surname box. I then protected the form and saved it as a template. When I open it from templates as a word document I receive the error "Word cannot attach a document to a protected template" and my linked often doesn't update. Can anyone help please? |

Use a REF (or STYLEREF) field to duplicate the content of the form field.
Set the form field property of the relevant field to 'calculate on exit.' If you are using a REF field in a header, you will additionally need to force an update using a macro run on exit from the form field. You will find the code and instructions for installing it at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Annette wrote: I have created a template in word XP and have inserted text form fields. eg: surname I have copied and pasted a text form fields as links in HTML format (ie paste special - link- HTML format) as I want the surname to appear at the top of the page as well as in the surname box.
