Hi everyone

I want to add a number of combo boxes to my document but I can't have form
protection turned on as the document is used by MS Navision as a template,
which won't work with any protection turned on.  I tried using form
protection on just a section of the document, but this doesn't seem to be
possible.

Also, I only want the contents of the combo box to be printed (i.e. not the
combo-box itself).  

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Thanks
Rebecca

No, it's not possible.  To add comboboxes to the main document, you
must be able to protect, at least that section, else the cbox will not
function.

However, can you have a macro?  If so, then you can build a userform
and move the combobox to it instead.  After the user makes the
selections, the contents can be passed back to the document via
bookmarks.
