Table with mandatory fields

[Guest]

Hi Using a table in word that requires people to complete data in cells.
There are two cells which requires dates, if the date for one cell is not
known then the other must be completed. Is there anyway of preventing the
user from saving the doc if either one of the cells do not have data in them.
Thanks

yes, but it takes a good deal of (VBA) code.

See for instance:
