Protecting a Document

[Kelly]

Hello,

WORD XP:

I have created an interactive form for many users, but I
have a few additional features that I would like to add to
the form.

1. I would like for the tables that I have created to stay
put

2. I would also like to make this an online form template

3. I would also like to protect the form so that the users
will not be able to make any changes.

I have used the Protect forms, but when it is in that
mode the user can't enter any data. So that means that I
would have to keep it in the Unprotect mode.

Please advise,

Kelly

The trick is to use formfields from the Forms Toolbar in the table cells
where you want the user to be able to fill in data. Check out the Dian
Chapman tutorials on the following site:

Thanks for such a quick reponse.

However, I have used the toolbar for what I mostly have
in my forms which is check boxes. Also, even if I used the
form field it still allows the user to enables the user to
change the form while on enterinng the data online.

Thanks,

Kelly

If you want, you can send it directly to me at:

wfoley1attxudotcom (hope that makes sense)

and I will take a look at it.

Did you use checkboxes from the Forms toolbar or from the Control Toolbox?
If the latter, use the former (now that is confusing)! HA!
