    Arrow Developer Tab: Content Controls

    I created a form using content controls. But it ain't controlled enough

    Can I prevent people from typing OVER choice lists?

    I think PDF would be a better option for forms because it allows more controls, but I am unable to confirm if PDF can export to Excel they way I use Word. I have a VBA code in Excel that works with Word.

    Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

    You can protect the form "No Changes - Read Only" then apply editors to the CCs that you want people to be able to type or select in.

    Ahhh, OK I understand. I did not know this. I applied protection to the entire form, but did not know I could make alterations to each control.
