If you go to Tools | Customize, they're in the list for All Commands, which
means they can be added to a toolbar or assigned a keyboard shortcut
(they're in that list as well). But I have no idea whether they'd work in a
protected form.

You mean to reset the form? Depending on version, you may be able to
reset it by unprotecting and reprotecting, but in recent versions you
have to do this through the Tools menu, as the button on the Forms
toolbar doesn't reset the form. And of course if the form is
password-protected, you wouldn't be able to unprotect it.

There's undoubtedly a VBA command that could somehow be run. There are
ClearFormField and ResetFormField commands that could be added to a
toolbar; if you could use Ctrl+A to select an entire form, that might
work. But I'm just speculating, as I have almost no practical experience
with forms.


ClearFormField and/or ResetFormField sound like what I want - remove any
entries made to all fields in a form and start over without
closing/opening or unprotecting/protecting.
Surprisingly few hits when searching for these commands. Where do I learn
to use them in Word 2000?
