Table in Protected form?

[Guest]

Hello,

I am creating a form from a current Word document. On the current form,
there are hyperlinks and tables for the user to input data.

I want to protect the form, so that I can add checkboxes. I found a macro
that will make the hyperlinks function on a protected form. Great.

But when I protect the form, you can't enter data into the table anymore.
How can I create a form (protection) and have an table for users to key in
data.

This is a checklist so as they go from step to step, they sometimes have to
put in notes on each step. Hence a table.

Thanks,

Tony

Insert Text FormFields into the cells of the table.

For those curious...

I found a post with an answer from Jay Freedman. It said to place text form
fields in the table cells. When the form is protected, the user can still
input into the text form fields.

Bingo! Just what I needed.
