Editing tables in restricted documents
I have a document which contains general text and some tables.
In this document, I need to be able to lock the text but ensure that the table is still editable (as this is the only part of the document any would need to amend). I need whoever uses this document to be able to make amendments to the table - whether that means altering the information already in the table or adding additional columns/rows. Is this even possible? I've played around with a few different options, but I can't seem to find anything that works - everything seems to lock the table from editing also. Appreciate any help. Thanks! |

What kind of editing restrictions are you using?

I first tried setting the document up using the form fields in the developer tab, but whilst I was able to paste a table into the text form field, I was unable to make any changes to it once I set the password restriction.
I also tried highlighting the text and table that I wished to remain editable and then placed a password restriction on the rest of the document - the text I highlighted remained editable, however the table and its contents did not. I'm not sure of any other ways to be able to only restrict certain portions of a document. |

If you're working with formfields, simply insert section breaks either side of the table, then leave the section containing the table unprotected when applying the forms protection.
