>Can I second this? I too was in XP and didn't realize the option was not >in 2000 (I don't have Word 2000, just 97, 95, and XP). My question from >last night still remains.... The template is not password protected, so >why not just turn off the field protection, do your copy and paste and >turn it back on? That would seem to solve the problem, without any >other workaround. (Or is it a case of XP handles the form differently >than 2000 and 2000 won't let you turn off the field protection?) Guess what!! That works! I'm not sure if I'm understanding "turn off field protection", but if I "unprotect" the document, I can copy/paste!! I may have accidentally unprotected it before I sent it to Linda last night. The person who created the document thought she was making it fool-proof by protecting it. She told me not to mess with that. I will unprotect my copy and leave it that way. I think I can manage to get my cursor in the correct fields without messing it up. Thankyouthankyou!!
