protect form

[angri]

I have created a form with check boxes. I want to protect the form so I can try out the check boxes. The protect form button is grayed out and it will not let me protect the form. Any ideas?

Did you insert the check boxes from the Forms toolbar or from the Controls
Toolbox toolbar? What you are talking about 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/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.

Hope this helps,
