Check boxes

[Graham]

I have a table in which I want cells with check boxes and a cell in the
bottom row for comments.
However, once the form is locked to allow the check boxes to be checked, the
cell for comments cannot have text typed in.
Is there a way around this problem?

 

[Tony Jollans]

Add a text form field in the comments cell - it will then be subject to the
same locking as the other form fields (the checkboxes)

Or don't use a protected form and use simple interactive check boxes
instead. It take a little work to create them in your template, but
once there they are alwasy there. See:

Use a text formfield for the comments. This is what Word calls an "online
form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
