Clear a Form

[Mike]

I have created a form that is going to be used mutilipe times. I want to be
able to do a save as and then clear the form out. Is there a way to do this
without closing the file and then reopening the file.

Formfields?

You could run a macro something like this:

Sub ResetAndProtect()
If ThisDocument.ProtectionType <> wdAllowOnlyFormFields Then
ThisDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, False
Else
ThisDocument.Unprotect
ThisDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, False
End If
End Sub

Better to save the form as a template and then use File>New to create a new
document from the template each time that you want to use the form.
