On the Developer tab make sure "Design Mode" isn't selected. If that's not
it, on the Mailings tab click "Start Mail Merge" and make sure the document
type is a "Normal Word Document".

Thanks. I actually did that but my Start Enforcing Protection button is
grayed out and no matter what I select it will not become available for me
to
use it. Thanks.

On the Developer tab, click Protect Document. *Under Editing

If you do not see the Developer tab, click the Office Button, Click the
Word
Options button, and click the Show Developer tab in the ribbon option.

Hello. I am trying to create a simple form in Word 2007. In the past
versions
there was a simple lock icon that toggled on and off to lock the form..
This
version seems to have this complicated feature for protection and I do
not
necessarily want to do the protection feature by adding a password, but
simply want to lock the document so that you can tab across the fields
to
fill out etc. I've searched help, but cannot find any such feature to
simply
lock the form so that it is able to be sent out to people to tab and
click
and complete the fields. Please help!!! Thank you.

Hello, I have a question I need assistance with that is along the same
lines as the discussion you guys are having. I have created the fill
in fields with Word 2007, but I need to know if there is any way
possible to tab through the fields without having to lock the form?
Any assistance will be helpful.
Thanx.
