CONTROLS

[emazariegos]

I created a document in Word.

Some text is standard and some text will vary.

For the text that will vary, I used the Text Boxes from Controls.

I went into Design Mode, and made the modifications that I wanted (Font
Size, Border Style, Locked = False, etc.)

Once I finished, I unselected design mode, and clicked the lock icon, and
closed the document.

However, now when I open the document, I am unable to access any part of it.

What did I do wrong?

Can anyone help me?

Is there a code in visual basic that I missed?

Please help,

Instead of using the Textbox control from the Control Toolbox, use the Text
Formfield from the Forms Toolbar (AB). These tools are the ones designed to
work with a protected document. The Control Toolbox is designed more for
programming Word, not creating basic forms.

I did as you suggested. All I had to do then, is create a unique password so
that no one will be able to alter the standard text.

Thank you, Sir.
