I saw in another post that the trick is to take the document out of "Design
Mode," which appears on the web tools toolbar. This does work. Thanks for
the suggestion anyway.

Hi ?B?UHJvcG9zYWwgTWFuYWdlcg==?=,

I want to protect my document in Word 2003, so I open ToolsProtect Document
and select 1. Formatting restrections and 2. Editing restrictions.

The third step, Start Enforcement, has a tab that is grayed out, so I cannot
select it and protect the document.

What must I do to activate the Start Enforcement tab?

1. The document isn't a mail merge document, is it?

2. If not, display the Forms toolbar. Can you use the padlock on that toolbar
to start protection? I've noticed in some forms documents that this will work
and, after I've used it once, the buttons in the task pane will also work.
