Sorting Text in a Form

[Duane]

I am creating a form using the Form Tool feature in Word. The majority of the sections in this table are simple areas to fill out, but there is one area where they input keywords related to the file they are working on. I would like to be able to have them sort the text in this area, but when I protect the form, they can not access the sort feature for this part of the form at all.

If possible, I would like to have a regular text section after the form, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this as when the form is protected, I lose any area like this.

Any and all help is appreciated heree, thanks.

The unprotected part is easy: insert a section break, then apply the
protection only to the section(s) containing the form.

Sorting the keywords is trickier. It is feasible using a macro; but does it
matter enough? It's usually simpler to do that sort of processing at the
other end, when you receive and act on the form.
