Set a control as read-only

Marking a selected control as read-only restricts users from entering information into it.

Note  This option is only available for text box, bulleted list, numbered list, and plain list controls.

1. In design mode, right-click the control that you want to mark as read-only, and then click Control Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Control Properties dialog box, click the Display tab, and then select or clear the Read-only check box.
