Is it possible to have two or more sections on one line?
I have a form with check boxes and fields that you type in. I need the check
boxes to work, but "protect form" locks out editing. To only partially protect the document, section breaks are needed, but there are instances in my document where starting on the next line is unnecessary (e.g. seperating "Subject:" from "[Click here and type subject]") |

You're combining two different types of form technology that are not
compatible. If you want to use MacroButton NoMacro fields (the "[Click here and type subject]" ones), then you also need to use MacroButton fields for your check boxes; learn how at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm. If you want to use check box form fields, then you also need to use text form fields (you can have the default text set to "Click here and type subject" if you like). For more on protected forms, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
