From: Dr.Robert on 18 May 2010 10:51 I want to paste a new instance of a Building Block that includes check boxes to incrementally add to a journal (patient record, in this case). I need a way to paste a protected section into a document—preferably as a Building Block— which will be, once inserted, ALREADY protected. In other words, I don't want to have to do an insert and then protect the section I just inserted as a separate step. As a work around, or in fact another addition to Word, the addition of a simple object that may be changed from one state to another on a single click (as in checked vs unchecked check box) WITHOUT protection would be a good addition that I have often wished for, for simpler applications where protection, with all its complexity for a casual user, would be unnecessary. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I assume that you are talking about a document that is protected for Filling in Forms. If that is the case, I would have the section containing the check boxes as a separate document and use code to unprotect the form, insert that document and then re-apply the protection to the form -- Hope this helps.
