Dear all,

Would appreaciate any insight into the following:

(1) I am designing a form that will be completed on-line. How can
limit the word count? For example, I want to disable typing after (eg
100 words.

(2) Is there any way to include a cut/paste facility in forms? I wan
to allow users to input graphics/equations into the form, this wil
then be extracted into a database.

thanks - catha

1) Usual approach is to hard set a table cell to constrain the text
input. If they keep typing, they can't see it.

2) Use continuous section breaks to mark off a free-form edit area and
use Tools > Protect Document > Sections to set what is protected as a
form and what is not.
