I'll mention it, but they won't care...cos' as I said, if you create the
form properly it shouldn't need copy/pasting.

Subject: [mso] Update on Sue's Word form with the selection problem



Just to let you all know, I kinda fixed Sue's template and sent it back
to her and she's gonna use the one I made for now.  But, I am OFFICIALLY
submitting this to Dian here as my contribution to the pile of "wishes"
she is taking to the summit.  PLEASE, Dian....can you bring this one to
their attention?

My wish is that Word text fields would allow you to select specific text
when they are inside a table.

Anyway, for those who want to know the workaround I came up with...here
it is...it took me about 4 minutes to do:

I deleted the table
I recreated a new table with two columns and two rows. 
I put the headings and text fields she had in here in these four table
cells Below this table, I added the third set of heading and text field
(the only one she said she needed to accept text more than one line long
and the only one where she was having the problem)...I put this below
the table, outside the table Then I just highlighted everything and
copied it and pasted it a bunch of times below this.

She reported back to me that it works fine.
