copy / paste into read-only table

Question

I have a read-only form with editable areas which include a six column table.  I have highlighted each row, including end-of-cell markers and made editable.  I cannot copy and paste multiple rows of copy, but if I copy and paste one row at a time the text gets pasted in.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  I don't want to copy in the rows, only the contents.  Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I'm assuming this is document restriction selected in the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane? In that case, what you are seeing is by design. When you specify editable areas of a restricted document, it only applies to the text, not to table cells or other "text containers."

I'm glad I could help.

For the basics of Building Blocks, take a look at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/reuse-text-and-other-document-parts-introducing-building-blocks-RZ010241442.aspx?CTT=1. If you have specific questions, I recommend that you start a new thread in this forum.

Stefan:  I wondered if that might be the case... Thank you. 

By the way.... am looking for any/all information I can get my hands on regarding 'building' blocks.  I have been to numerous sites trying to glean information, but have questions, questions, questions.
