Re: Word Forms & Protection

I cannot replicate that problem.

However, if you use a macro containing the following code to re-apply the
protection, you will not have the problem

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Hope this helps.

Former XP/Word2003 user converting to Vista/Word2007. I finally located
the
"forms toolbox" and am now trying to get through the protection features.
When designing a form in 2003, protection could be enabled and disabled
without losing data previously input. I find in 2007, each time
protection
is enabled, all prior entries are erased. Is there a solution for this?

On the topic of Forms. Is there a drop down or similar field/feature in
Word2007 that will allow user input vs. only the selections provided by
the
designer?
