Your Office subscription has expired, or you are using a trial version.The ones we will be discussing are as follows: The error message can relate to one, or several, of a multitude of different scenarios. The text is fairly self explanatory, in that when displayed, it is an explanation to the user that they are being denied access to a certain aspect of the Microsoft Word application. One such error that people encounter is the passage, “ You can’t make this change because this selection is locked”, which is presented within Microsoft Word. As with every product from Microsoft, most people are bound to encounter at least one issue that prevents them from completing a certain task within the product without a noticeable degree of frustration and annoyance.
Pay particular attention to the links to the tutorials written by Dian Chapman they provide quite a bit of detailed information about forms.Microsoft Word is an application that isn’t exactly impervious to errors. You can find more information about creating forms at this Word MVP Web page: You can then follow the above steps to protect the section you just created-the one containing a single table row. All you need to do is insert a continuous section break at the beginning of the row you want to protect, and then insert another continuous section break at the beginning of the row following the one you want to protect. There is a way, however, that you can protect an entire row in a table. (If there is only one section in the document, then the whole document is protected.) This means that you cannot protect other objects, such as text boxes or table cells. Notice that protection is done in Word on a section-by-section basis.
Word closes the Section Protection dialog box. Make sure that only the section (or sections) you want protected are selected in the list of sections.Word displays the Section Protection dialog box. The Sections button should now be accessible.
Make sure the Forms radio button is selected.Word displays the Protect Document dialog box. Choose Protect Document from the Tools menu.Once your document is divided into sections, you can protect a section by following these steps: You insert a section break by using the Insert | Break command. Sections, in Word, are defined by the presence of section breaks. When you protect your document, you can also specify that only specific sections of the document be protected. If you didn't define any controls for the form, then all the information still remains protected, and you end up with a document that cannot be changed. The idea behind forms is that you can specify the information to be entered in a form, using special controls, and then you protect the form so that you can only enter data by using those controls all other information in the protected portion of the form cannot be changed. This is done through Word's implementation of its forms feature. Word allows you to protect parts of a document so that they cannot be changed.
