Protecting the form field from deletion
If you have applied forms protection, users shouldn't be able to delete any
form fields. Note that if you added an unprotected section, you cannot have any fields in that section, since the user would be able to delete them (and they wouldn't work the way you would expect form fields to work either). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rathish" wrote in message ...

Protecting the form field from deletion
If you protect the document for filling in forms, the user will only be able
to enter text into the formfields; nowhere else in the document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Put a text field in the first column and protect the lot. You cannot have a
section break in the middle of a page that only applies to one column. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rathish wrote: Thanks for the reply but situation here is just the opposite.
