Hi David,

I have switched some of my users to OpenOffice and they are really
trying to use it but one of them has an issue with old Word doc's she
has added forms to and locked them. She has opened them with Writer
and can not find the control to unlock the form. Is there such a
thing or am I needing to reinstall her Microsoft word??? Thanks David
No, it's not necessary to reinstall Word.
You are writing about documents with form-fields.
Those fields will be converted to fill in fields.
There is no need to lock or unlock the document.
This is how it works:
- When you start a new document from a template, each field opens a box
where you can type the text;
- Ctrl-Enter fills it to the document;
- the next box opens automatically etc.
- Cancel stops opening the boxes.
- And Ctrl-Shft-F9 will start the pop-up sequence again.
- Clicking on a field, opens the box for that field.
Little advantage: you won't loose your data by accident, which happens
if you unprotect and protect again the doc in Word.
There are more field types available. Pls see Insert|Fields|More, tab
Functions and Variables.
Pls see also the Help.
And the user guides on http://documentation.opneoffice.org
HTH &
regards,
Cor
