Using drop-down fields in a table within a protected document

[janatello]

This is a follow-up question to the one I had on the 11th.

Is there a way to protect a column in a table instead of a row in order to
get the drop-down field to work? I do not want to lock down the row, because
there is information that the users will need to fill in.

Hi janatello,

No, the dropdown formfield has to go into a protected Section (which can be as little as one row in a table), otherwise it won't
work.

Please forgive me if this question is confusing; however, are there
restrictions on whether you can create a drop down field within a protected
document?

This is the situation...I am creating a document that is protected as a form
document so that only certain sections can be edited. Within that form
document, in an un-protected section, I created a table, and I want to have a
drop-down field of choices of what that cell can be populated with. Is there
a way to do this in Word

No.

Why not put text form fields in the other columns to accept the data?
