In the Restrict Formatting and Editing pane (which you can display by
clicking Protect Document on the Developer tab), you should see a button
labeled Stop Protection. Click the button. If the button is greyed out, be
sure to deselect Design Mode in the Controls group of the Developer tab.

Note that macro security may force Design mode if your document contains
ActiveX controls. You may want to avoid using ActiveX controls in your
protected documents; just use form fields.

I am also having this exact problem -- I have a document that was created
in
Word 2003 and I am modifying it in Word 2007. Specifically, I am trying
to
modify content within a table. In Word 2003, you could unlock forms using
the Forms toolbar. In Word 2007, I did exactly as suggested below by
Stefan
Bloom. On the same Developer tab, I also selected Protect Document button
and selected Unrestricted Access. I also went to the Review tab and also
used the Protect Document button and selected Unrestricted Access. After
doing all of this, I am still not able to modify the text in the table.
Please advise me what to do so that I can make changes in this document.
Thanks

Apparently you are using Word 2007. To access the form options in that
version, you will have to display the Developer tab; here's how to do
that:
Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Popular
category, select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" and click OK. On the
Developer tab, you can then insert form fields via the Legacy Tools
button
(in the Controls group); there is also a Properties button for specifying
field options. Click the Protect Document button whenever you want to
turn
protection on and off.

When I right click it, the only available option is "minimize ribbon"

Right-click on any toolbar and choose Forms from the menu. Or use View

ok on the Forms toolbar, as stated. Sorry but I don't seem to know
where
the
Forms toolbar is. My toolbars are almost completely greyed out and
under
tools I only have the option to "protect" not "unprotect" and it is
grey.

Have you tried Tools | Unprotect Document? Or Using your Forms
toolbar,
clicking on the lock icon? If the document is password
protected,
you
will
need to know the password.
