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:

Using the Find feature outside the Find dialogue box

To access the Find dialogue box, press the F5 key. Type in the word you want to find in the document - the first instance of this word in the document will be highlighted.

To find further occurences of the word in the document, you can actually Cancel out of the Find dialogue box.

Once you do this, the two double-arrow buttons at the bottom of the scroll bar on the right of your screen will have turned blue. You can use the double-arrow buttons to jump between instances of the word in the document.
