Templates
Hi, I hope you all are doing well.
After creating a template using the forms toolbar text block and protecting it as a form, what do you do to prevent from losing data typed into the text block if you have to unprotect and the reprotect the form. For example, I have a template made from the forms text field. When completing the form derived from the template, I found I mispelled some of the text in the form. When I unprotect the form to make the change and reprotect the form the data I typed in the text fields disappears. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? TIA. |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...lfResetOff.htm.
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
