Forms

[ChrisB]

Apologies if this is the wrong group but I cannot find one for either
'general' word or 'forms'.

I want to be able to create a form which allows the users to edit parts of
it - i.e. some text which has already been entered but will need to be
edited.

is this possible without them unlocking the form?

Many thanks

Chris

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

You can put default text in form fields which can be edited. Otherwise, you
can unlock sections of the document and allow editing of those sections.

Hope this helps,
