I am creating a document that contains 1) check box forms and 2) hyperlinks
to bookmarked sections of another word document. I need to select the Protect
Form icon or Protect Document option in order to make the check boxes active.
However, doing so inactivates the hyperlinks. How do I alter the document so
that both the check boxes and hyperlinks are active?

THANKS!!!

NOTE -- I cannot protect certain sections by creating section breaks because
the hyperlinks and check box forms are co-located in the same sections (and
sometimes on the same lines) of the document.

Thanks Suzanne. Will this approach work if the hyperlinks are directed to
bookmarked fields in other Word documents rather than to URLs?

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never used this technique, but I
don't see any reason why it would not work.

I have used the macro technique but now the text for my hyperlinks will not
break up across multiple lines - a new line of text is started at the
beginning of each hyperlink. Is there a fix?

I don't believe fields (and a hyperlink is a field) can be broken across
lines.

Thanks Suzanne. I ended up splitting the hyperlinks into 2. I appreciate the
help!
