Template/Scanned Signature

[jlo]

I have a template in Word with two scanned signatures. I have them in
Autocorrect and Autotext.

I want to be able to go to the field and type the person's name and it will
populate in the field.

When I protect the template Autotext doesn't work.

Thanks.

Autotext will not work in a form field and even if it would you can't put
graphics in a text form field.

What might work for you is an Autotext field in the body of the document -
assuming the name is inserted in form field Text1 and the calculate on exit
check box relating to that field is checked, then

{ AUTOTEXT "{ Ref Text1 }" }

will insert the autotext associated with the autotext name inserted into
Text1 or an error message if the autotext name doesn't exist or the field is
empty.

Better still, could the AutoText field reference a dropdown form field? That
would guarantee that the signature exists. But if there is no other reason
for the template to be a protected form, an AutoTextList field could be used
instead.

Yes you could use a dropdown field - essentially covered at
