Hi =?Utf-8?B?Q0pNIFR5cGU=?=,
I created a form in Word. Is there a way to allow the user (the person who is
filling in the form with information) to format the text that they input into
the fields; e.g., if they want to make a word bold or italic, can they do so?
If you're using form fields and forms protection, then this is only possible
using a macro. And if the form fields are within a table, then the macro would
be non-trivial (because the user can't select characters within a form field
embedded in a table cell).
The macro, outside a table, is fairly trivial:
Sub FormBold()
Dim doc as Word.Document
Set doc = ActiveDocument
if doc.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
doc.Unprotect
End If
Selection.font.Bold = true
doc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub
