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:

Turn Format Painter on once and use multiple times

The format painter tool provides a quick and easy way to copy formatting from one piece of text to another in Word.

The only problem is that if you click the Format Painter once to turn it on, you can only click and drag over a single piece of text; then the Format Painter turns itself off automatically.

If you want to copy formatting to more than one piece of text, double-click the Format Painter - this way you will be able to copy formatting to multiple pieces of text.

When you have finished using Format Painter, press the Esc key or click on the Format Painter button once to turn it off.
