Table in word

Andy128 · 05-27-2005, 01:11 PM

I have created a table in word and wish to lock certain cells so that they cannot be modified and keep certain cells unlocked for data entry. I am at a
loss as to how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m not sure if this can be done in Word – Is this a text document that you wanted to add a table to?
Much easier to do what you said in Excel.

Yes it is a word/text document that I have added a table to. I agree that it is easier in excel- but far less portable. In order for me to open an excel document -the computer I use must have excel. I find most computers have some form of MS Word but not all have excel.

Hello Andy128,

if you do not have microsoft excel, no worries. u can download openoffice from www.openoffice.org. it works similar as microsoft office.

hope that helps.
