WARNING!!!! The REASON she told you not to mess with it is cos' you're
not doing it right!! If she really wanted to make it foolproof, she
could have easily added a password so you COULDN'T unprotect it. But as
I mentioned, know that when you protect it again, ALL those fields will
be erased!!
Form MUST be protected so that you can tab from field to field. If you
spend all that time filling out the form and then send it...and the
recipient notices that the form isn't working and relocks it...all your
info will be lost! And you'll be getting it BACK in the mail to redo it
all over again!

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!!
Sue
