How do I link textboxes so that they are edible after protecting the word doc ?

It is a stupid default setting (on until you turn if off) whenever a document is opened.

You can manage it with a macro, but you can't make your users run the macro:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveDocument.Windows(1).View.ShadeEditableRanges = False
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub

Ye I read that somewhere as well. From all the possible textboxes (the regular ones, tables 1x1, fields and content control textboxes - those that I know of) ain't there a way to link them without it being the regular ones on view only protection (with the brackets issue) ?

Ty for your quick repply yesterday
