Protect Document With Page Break
Hello,
I'm using Word 2003 and I need to protect one table that has form elements and allow a second table to be used to input other details. Table 1 is at the top of the page and has form elements for: Title, Name, Date, Time along with matching labels. Table 2 is used for typing in the report details. I need to make entries in both tables but not allow Table 1's labels to be changed. I think this can be done using a page break but I forgot how to make this all work in Word 2003. Can someone assist me with this? Thanks in advance! -A |

Protect Document With Page Break
You'll need to insert a section break (Continuous) and protect the first
section for forms. You'll need to have actual form fields to allow users to input data. Note that protecting any part of a document for forms imposes some limitations on the entire document (even unprotected sections). -- Suzanne S.

Protect Document With Page Break
Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. It was the "Select sections" part that I was missing after I did the actual continous section break. In fact, I never even noticed the "Select sections" link below the drop-down menu for "Editing restrictions". In the post just above this one Luc pointed out the oversight for me. Thanks again for your reply. -A "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You'll need to insert a section break (Continuous) and protect the first section for forms.
