When I would set the restrictions/protections, I would check the box that reads "Allow only this type of editing in the document" and set it to "Filling In Forms."Īll the fields and calculations worked perfectly once the protections were enable, except for the Microsoft Signature Line. One would be used by the student, and two would be used by the supervisors. I also created signature lines by using inserting Microsoft signature lines. I then set up a "Text Form Field" to automatically calculate the total cost of the courses for the year to appearĪt the bottom of the table (that took a while to figure out how to do).įor the rest of the student's information, such as name, address, degree, etc, I used "Plain Text Content Control". I used legacy tools "Text Form Field" to create a table where the student inputs his/her courses, credit hours, and the cost of the courses. This would be filled out and signed first by a student, and then completed and signed by a couple of approving supervisors. I am currently creating an academic degree application form in Microsoft Word. If you have other solutions or suggestions for inserting objects into protected Microsoft Word forms, please add them to the comments below.I am hoping someone maybe able to assist with a problem I have run into regarding signatures in fillable fields. Untick the sections you want unprotected. Then click on ‘select sections…’ just below. When you protect the document go to Editing Restrictions, click on ‘allow only this type of editing in the document, select Filling in forms. The sections where others may change/add information are unprotected. The sections with fields and text that should not be changed are protected. We handle this by using multiple sections in our templates/documents. Kudos go out out an anonymous visitor who submitted the following solution (thanks, whoever you are!): from San Antonio, TXĪNSWER: I have to admit I was a bit stumped by this problem. I have tried to insert other legacy fields into the table cell where I want the end user to insert the object but none of them have worked.Īny suggestions will be greatly welcomed and thank you for your time!
