Robert, if I chose the table menu, I find the "protect cells" feature. I
used it and could type in the cell. But when I tried to cut and paste from
my other cell, it wouldn't paste, and when I tried to type in it again,
there was the same problem. So I think I clicked the protect cells feature
for both the one I cut the text from, and the one I was trying to paste to
and this time it worked. I sure can't figure out what happened, but am
grateful it's working now. Hopefully this doesn't happen often because I
need to finish this tonight.
Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the reply, Robert. I did right click the cell, but every thing
is grayed out except "select" which selects the column, row or table;
"Number Format" and "Table properties" And I can't find anything in those
that lets me select "unprotected cells."

Peggy -
I don't really understand Wade Smart's response, but have you tried
right-clicking in the affect cell and selecting 'Unprotect Cells'?

From the help menu:
You can enable a selection cursor in a read-only text document or in the

Choose Edit - Select Text or open the context menu of a read-only
document
and choose Select Text. The selection cursor does not blink.

I am using a table to list all of our scattered names, phone numbers,
etc
to keep them together in alphabetical order. It means I guess where the
names go and cut and paste to put entries in the correct places. All has
been fine, until now.
Now suddenly, I can't cut and paste one of the cells. It cuts, but won't
paste where I want it to go.. I tried to just write the information into
the cell and get this message: "Read only content; Write protected
content
cannot be changed. No modifications will not be accepted"
It's my document for heaven's sake. I didn't write protect it. I've
tried
to find a place under the table menu where something got changed and
can't.
If I have to I'll try save it under another name and then see if the
problem sticks, but I shouldn't have to.
Can anyone tell me how this glitch happened and if there's anything I
can
do to change it?
I've been working all day and hoped to finish tonight. What's wrong with
this program! I would be so grateful for an answer!
