Naturally, you can lock not only the contents of individual cells but whole tables.<br />

For this purpose, simply select the whole table and then use the procedure described<br />

above.<br />

Protecting forms<br />

Before you put a newly created form to use, you should protect it from being<br />

changed. When a form is ready for use, the form itself should no longer be subject<br />

to change, and only the objects in the form that are intended to be filled in should<br />

be changeable.<br />

The following methods for protecting forms are available to you:<br />

Using Forms mode<br />

When you activate Forms mode (see section “Filling out forms”) the forms objects<br />

can still be filled in, but other parts of the document can no longer be edited, and<br />

most TextMaker commands are no longer available.<br />

Forms mode can be activated and deactivated with the View > Forms Mode.<br />

Note: Keep in mind that users who fill in the form can deactivate Forms mode at<br />

any time unless you prevent them from doing so by locking Forms mode with a<br />

password (see below).<br />

Saving the form in Forms mode<br />

Tip: When you save a document in Forms mode, Forms mode is automatically<br />

reactivated the next time the document is opened.<br />

Locking Forms mode with a password<br />

As required, you can prevent other users from deactivating Forms mode by locking<br />

it with a password.<br />

To do this, invoke the File > Properties command and switch to the Forms property<br />

sheet. Activate Forms mode by checking the Forms mode activated option.<br />

Then, enter a Password to deactivate Forms mode and confirm with OK. Finally,<br />

save the document.<br />
