| Re: pasting in form fields It sounds like you used Content Controls instead of form fields. The legacy form fields are also on the Developers tab in the Controls group but found under Legacy Tools. While you can use content controls for protected documents they were designed for use in unprotected documents. Is there a reason you need to protect the document? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "hershkow" <hershkow@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5338FB0C-36FC-4AD6-86C1-A7364FBDCBA3@microsoft.com... >I have created forms using WORD 2007, that is, I protected the document, > restricting to "filling in forms". > When I now go to fill up a form I cannot paste into the form fields.

| Re: pasting in form fields I have the same issue and yes I used the Content Controls because they were much cleaner and I figured would be supported properly within Word 2007 since they are only in that program. We need to protect the document because we only want these fields to be editable and it would be nice to be able to paste into the fields. You can copy data out of the fields you just can't copy data in. Hopefully there is a workaround???? "Beth Melton" wrote: > It sounds like you used Content Controls instead of form fields.

| Re: pasting in form fields You can use "No changes (read only)" as the protection type and then mark each Content Control as an Exception instead. This will allow you to paste in the Content Controls. This also works around the inability to use Spell Check in a protected document. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
