Check boxes
I have a table in which I want cells with check boxes and a cell in the
bottom row for comments. However, once the form is locked to allow the check boxes to be checked, the cell for comments cannot have text typed in. Is there a way around this problem? |

Add a text form field in the comments cell - it will then be subject to the
same locking as the other form fields (the checkboxes) -- Enjoy, Tony "Graham" wrote in message ... I have a table in which I want cells with check boxes and a cell in the bottom row for comments.

Or don't use a protected form and use simple interactive check boxes
instead. It take a little work to create them in your template, but once there they are alwasy there. See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/add_check_boxes.htm |

Use a text formfield for the comments. This 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.
