OK, I see what you mean about the popups. My attempt was not in a table and I may have inserted a bookmark. I tried bookmarks in the table (within and outside of a section), but the behavior isn't satisfactory. Sorry about the mis-step. jd On Mon, 2007-07-16 at 18:12 -0700, NoOp wrote: > On

NoOp - 1. What method are you using to protect the document? 2. Do you want to use the tab key to navigate to the fill-in field? Thanks, jd On Mon, 2007-07-16 at 18:12 -0700, NoOp wrote: > On 07/14/2007 09:08 PM, JimNLori wrote: > > I did do it, yes. I didn't rewrite the document - I added a

I did do it, yes. I didn't rewrite the document - I added a section just above the existing input fields as a test. I then added a new input field within the section, then saved, closed and made the permissions read-only. Opened it up and, yes, I could enter data into my new field. On Sat, 200

OK, I probably need to make a single post on a topic from now on. But I did find out how to make the input fields editable in a read-only document. First convert it from MS doc to OO odt. Then you can create sections with input fields in them. Then on the menu select Format | Sections, select t

I just found a setting in the Insert Section dialog, Section Tab. There is a check box to make the Write Protect the section and make it editable in a Read Only document. That could be helpful. jd On Sat, 2007-07-14 at 18:32 -0700, NoOp wrote: > On 07/13/2007 01:20 PM, NoOp wrote: > > On 07/13

In MS Word, you place the input fields in a write protected section. So if OO works the same way, you would have to create a Write Protected section and put the input fields inside that section. I gave it a shot, but I am brand new to OO, so I don't know how to display the section I inserted in

Thank you! This worked by great by customizing the keyboard with your instructions. You can assign certain keys to various functions. For this test we'll assign F4 (instead of Tab) to move between the fill-in fields. Try this on one of your templates/forms: 1. Select Tools|Customize|Keyboard Ca
