Restrict user to enter data

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a document which contains four tables. I want to restrict the user
from copying or altering the content. However, I want the users to be able to
enter information into the table and if necessary also add rows at the end.
How can I do this?

The first part is simple enough: you can place form fields in the table cells,
then protect the document as a form.

But in order to generate additional rows you would need a macro that unprotects,
inserts the row with the form fields, then reprotects. When I need to do this, I
usually save the row with the form fields as an AutoText entry in the template
associated with the document.
