Lock specific drop downs on a Word Document
Hi all!
I have a little problem! I am working on a word document with Text Form Fields and Drop down form fields. These are mixed in the document and separeted into 3 big boxes. I want the last 2 boxes to be locked, so that the drop-down function actually works and the text form fields gets locked. This is completely doable, however I cannot seems to get the 1st box to be unlocked i.e. uprotected. I use "break" - "Continuous" to separate the documents into 2 parts, locking the 2nd part and keeping the 1st part unlocked and editable. However this does not seem to work. I want the user to be able to edit and open the "text Form field option" on the first section of the word document but not on the second part which should be locked. many thanks in advance! |

Formfields don't work unless they're protected, so what you're trying to do won't allow anyone to select an option from the editable formfield.
