Hello,

I am writing a test case document. For each test case, it needs user to
input the test result PASS or FAIL. I need to count total test cases and
how many passed and failed. At first I thought to use the checkbox for user
to choose PASS or FAIL or Blank so I can count using macro. However, I need
the tester to enter notes or change the document if necessary. Look like
using checkbox needs to "protect" the document then user can not change the
document any more. I am seeking help to how I can tag those PASS/FAIL item,
which user need to choose or enter, such that I can do a count later.

thanks,

Yes , you need to protect the form but you can choose to allow your user to
fill the form. make sure to add text form field for user comment.

Thanks. How do I choose to allow user to fill the form. I checked all the
commnad on the form toolbar and didn't find that option.

I think you need to learn more about protected forms (which can also have
unprotected sections, but I think just a text form field would suffice for
your comments). See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
