    Restricting Cells in a Word Table

    Hi

    Easy to do in Excel, but is there a way to only allow input in certain defined cells in a Word Table?

    I have a user form I send to customers to complete. Requirements are in the left most column, and their input is in the right two columns.

    Other parts of the document (outside the table) need to be locked also.

    Possible? I've played around with Restrict Editing, but can't see how it can work.

    I've tried using Excel, but some people just can't come to terms with it (their loss).

    Cheers, Paul.

    Use the Form feature of Word.

    Thanks for the handy link. I had tried using this feature before, but couldn't make it work well enough.
    After having a read of this, and a bit of playing around with it, it's now fine.

    Cheers.
