Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Cant type into content controls in a form after protecting document using macro

I can't reproduce your problem here. Creating a table with CCs and running

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
MsgBox "Test"
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, True
End Sub

Runs without issue and I can type in all CCs.

Maybe you could try using editable regions and:

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
MsgBox "Test"
ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyReading
End Sub
