This might be a question better suited for the General forum (which I've
cross-posted to - I think), but the issue is related to documents created
from templates that I've coded so I'm posting in the Word Programming forum
as well.
Here's the situation: I've created a series of templates using Word 2003.
These templates have protected and unprotected sections in them (forms
protection). The client has standardised on Word 2003 across the
organisation, but there are a couple of "high-ranking interested parties"
(members of the Board) who are running Word 2007. I've been told - but have
yet to see proof - that when documents created from my templates are opened
in Word 2007 only the content in the protected area/s of the document is
displayed; the unprotected sections are blank. ~cue spooky music~
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of Word 2007 to test with, and the persons
reporting the problem are not exactly local, so I'm unable to reproduce the
problem myself. However, before I go too much further with chasing this issue
(which I'm tempted to resolve by saying it's out of scope since the contract
was to develop templates for use in the _standard_ environment), I'd like to
know if anybody else has encountered this problem.
