I interpreted the post to mean that the poster couldn't click the lock on
the Forms toolbar, probably because it is not showing. Could be wrong, you
are welcome to go into details on how to use vba to unprotect or to
replicate the text from the document in a new one if you wish. I'll wait to
know that this is needed.

I think the original poster said that it isn't letting her unprotect the
document. Sounds like she knows how to do it, it just isn't letting
her...

I've got problems after saving a protected document to unprotect it. I
protected the document so only the form fields could be edited. And now
Word
won't let me unprotect the document.

Thanks for any hint or solution!
