Let users add tables to document with forms
Hi,
I've created a application template for our company in MS Word, it uses tables with forms elements inside. I do not want the template style to be changed by applicants, so it will be protected with password. However, some info can have more than one instance (say, previous place of work or certificates). How can I allow users to insert one more instance of a correspondent table? Or if you can suggest a smarter way to do it, I'd be very grateful. p.s. if I should address vba.general, then I'm terribly sorry |

You can have an unprotected section where users are allowed to insert
tables. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I've created a application template for our company in MS Word, it uses tables with forms elements inside.

Let users add tables to document with forms
If your intent is to generate another row, complete with formfields and
protected to act like a formfield section, then as far as I know, you'll need to use VBA. The best approach might be to use a toolbar button or a macro button in an unprotected section to run a macro. The macro would unprotect the table section, insert another row from a previously defined autotext entry, then reprotect the section without reset. But what formfields do you need to use? If you only need a drop-down list, you could use an autotextlist field. If you need check boxes, there are macrobutton approaches to working checkboxes. If you used these techniques rather than formfields, you could avoid protecting the document alltogether, and thus avoid the related problems. But you'd also forfeit the ability to prevent applicants from adjusting your design. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |
