Use a locked on-line form and either add text fields or insert an
unprotected section for free text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word danniemac wrote: Hi i am creating a project request form for people to fill out on their computer.

thanks for your help, but i don't want to use an on-line form, just regular Word. Tried to protect certain area's and not others but then the check box "menu" still comes up. Maybe i'll just go back to Excel.....err!

Take a look at the Checkbox template available at URL: http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm for an exploration of these. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
