In further researching . . . documents that are protected as a form
will not allow copying. However, if you create a new document and
click the Insert menu and choose File, you can insert the protected
document and it will then be unprotected.

I have a protected word document (password unknown). By reading
several postings, it seems as though I should still be able to copy
text from the document to paste into a new doc. Copy and paste is
gray, Ctrl+A doesn't work, ect. Is there a way to copy protected
text? Thanks.
