MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2007Mail Merge .DOT filename problem
Because of the recent update by MS Word, you can only use the tick box which comes on the Forms Toolbar. I have protected parts of the document that use these tick boxes so that the users do not have to click on the Pad Lock (Unlock/lock the form) to write in the relevant sections they need to fill in However, because the form is protected (parts of it) and the padlock is on, it wont merge the data as it says "The document is protected, please re-merge the data etc". How can i stop this from coming up? Ive solved this issue with .RTF files, but now having difficulty with .DOT filenames Please Help! Warm Regards Can you please tell us a. which version of Word you're using b. what you were using before you changed your tick box to use the box on the forms toolbar? c. what goes wrong as a consequence of the Word update?

I have to protect the whole document as it is the only way to suuport the sections which are proteced. In .RTF files, although you have locked the form, it still merges the information into the sections you have left unproteced I hope this clarifies Regards > Can you please tell us > a. which version of Word you're using [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > Warm Regards I had a brief look at this but there are still too many unknowns for me to make progress. Can you either say a bit more about your document's structure - what sections, what used to be protected in Word 2000, etc.Or if you want, send me a copy of the Word 2000 document (perhaps simplified so it has a very simple data source that I can easily create here) with info. about what is protected etc. I do remember that there have been problems in this area but cannot remember the specifics.
