inserting JPEGs or GIFs in a Word 2000 form

[cynthia]

I have created a Word 2000 form from a table layout with
fields that I can password protect, but I need to allow
others to insert a photograph or drawing in one row of the
table. I had used a text field for this before, but, once
the document is protected, the form won't allow a user to
insert the picture. Is there something special I need to
do to allow this? This form will be emailed to people or
taken out of a shared folder on an internal network.

Hi Cynthia,

you'd need to use a macro to unprotect, insert the picture,
the reprotect. Or the picture would have to go into an
unprotected section of the form.
