MacroButton Field and protection

I have set up a macro button called no macro so that people can select the field and enter their names without having to double click or deleting the field to type in. However, the macrobutton doesnt seem to work when the document is protected. Is there a way around this?

RE: MacroButton Field and protection

Hi Katie

If you would like text to be editable once your document is protected it will have to be in a section that is left unprotected. To do this insert two continuous section breaks - one on either side of the macro button. When you turn on protection leave that section unprotected and the user will be able to click and edit as planned.
I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Word tip:

Side by side comparison in Word

By using the Compare Side by Side feature in Word, you can compare the content of two documents easily.

Here's how:

1. Open the two documents you wish to compare.

2. Go to Window - Compare Side by Side.

This will allow you to see both documents on your screen and scroll both simultaneously.
