Style of Formfield gets lost on Protecting Document.

[Murali]

I have created a simple form field like this:
Name (Style - 'TemplateLabel' ) : {FormField} (Style = 'Title1')

The style of form field ('Title1') is available when the document is in
UnProtected Mode. The Problem is the Style of formfield gets changed to
'TemplateLabel' on changing the document to Protected Mode.

Following is the code is invoked dynamically on click of a Command Button:

Private Sub GalleryImages_Click()
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
Selection.TypeText Text:="Title" & vbTab & vbTab
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("TemplateLabel")

Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:= _
wdFieldFormTextInput

With Selection.FormFields(1)
.Name = "Title1"
End With
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Title1")
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub

Can anybody help to let know why the formfield style gets changed on
Protecting the document?

Thanks for your help

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TXVyYWxp?=,

Which version of Word are we dealing with?

Is "Title1" a character style, or a paragraph style?

Is the text and formfields in a table?

Thanks for looking into the issue.
1. We are using Word 2003.
2. The style of the label ("Name") is of type character and of the form
field ("Title1") is Paragraph.
3. The text & form fields are not in a table.

Look forward your reply, Murali

Hi Murali,

1. We are using Word 2003.
2. The style of the label ("Name") is of type character and of the form
field ("Title1") is Paragraph.
3. The text & form fields are not in a table.

See if this KB article applies to your situation. The behavior you
describe seems to indicate it:
