Copy locked form

[Caroline]

Hello,
I have created a form for people to complete easily: I inserted text fields
and then locked the form, so they can tab ot the next field.
But I would like for them to be able to copy the whole form (locked and
unlocked sections) after they're done editing it -without having to explain
how to unlock it.
Is there a way this can be done?
Thanks, Caroline

No, it can't -- the cursor can't be located anywhere in a protected document
except in a form field, so the protected text can't be selected to make a
copy of it.

If the purpose of copying is to place it into another Word document, first
save the form document. Then go to the other document and use Insert > File
(or in Word 2007, Insert > Object (the down arrow on the right side of the
button) > Text from File) and select the form document's file.

Why do you need the information to be copied? What's the final aim of the
exercise?
