Tables in a form
Good morning,
I am creating a form using the Forms toolbar and intend to lock the document so that users can only Fill in forms. One area of the document calls for users to paste a table they have already created in another document. I would like to set the document up this way because each user's table could be different from other users. I have tried creating a blank table that the users can manipulate, but I notice that when the document is locked, a table cannot be edited anyway. Is there any way to mark the position of a table in a form so that people can copy and paste their own, or short of that, simply to put an editable table in a form so that people can manipulate the table the way they would like and then copy and paste the content from their other document? Thanks, Dano |

Dano,
Have you tried using a non-protected section in your form? You do not mention the Word version you are using, please do so. So we can help better. Luc "Dano O'D" schreef in bericht ...

Hi Luc,
I'm using Word 2003, sorry I didn't mention that before. Is there a way to have a non-protected section in the form when using the Editing Restrictions/Filling in forms option?

Yes, but you do need to have the additional section before you'll get an
option to protect certain sections. -- 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.
