Making tables accessible in MS Word Forms Options
Have a challenge i cant seem to figure out. I am making a form that i
want to lock down, only allowing the user to enter text into the form fields. However, part of the document consists of a table where they will enter info into a cell then move on to another cell. The problem is, depending on how much entries they have they might need to add another row or two to the table. How can i allow this. I know without a form lockdown all they would have to do is push tab and a new row would appear. However this is not happening with a locked form. How can i format the table to allow this?? |

Making tables accessible in MS Word Forms Options
You will need to insert formfields into the cells of the table and set the
following macro to run on exit from the last cell of the table Sub addRow() ' Macro created 02/02/03 by Doug Robbins ' To add a new row to a table containing formfields in every column ' automatically on exit from the last cell in the present last row of the table Dim rownum As Long, i As Long Dim Response Response = MsgBox("Do you need to add another row to the table?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2, "Add another Row") If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes. With ActiveDocument .Unprotect With Selection.Tables(1) .Rows.Add rownum = .Rows.Count For i = 1 To .Columns.Count ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Range:=.Cell(rownum, i).Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput Next i .Cell(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Range.FormFields(1).ExitMacro = "addRow" .Cell(.Rows.Count, 1).Range.FormFields(1).Select End With .Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End With Else ' User chose No. Exit Sub End If End Sub -- Hope this helps.
