Upgraded to 2007 and now I can't unprotect my documents
I have several documents that have form fields on them. After upgrading to
2007, I can't unprotect any of the documents for editing. Is there a way to do this or do I have to rebuild everything? |

Is there a way to do this or do I have to rebuild everything? In Word 2007, click the Protect Document button on the Review ribbon to open the Restrict Formatting and Editing pane. Click the Stop Protection button at the bottom, and supply the password if there is one. A quicker way is to add the Lock icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. In the Office button Word Options Customize dialog, set the category to Commands Not in the Ribbon to find the Lock command. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

You may find http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm a
useful addition if you want to work with forms in Word 2007. It adds the familiar commands from the Word 2003 forms toolbar. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LoniJ wrote: I have several documents that have form fields on them.

How are you trying to unprotect the document? Are you using the Review (or
Developer) tab and the Protect Document command? If so, if when clicking the Protect Document button you see a list of choices, use the "Restrict Editing and Formatting" command. Note the options under the Restrict Permission section are for protecting documents using Information Rights Management (IRM) which is included in three editions of Office 2007. Those editions are Pro Plus, Enterprise, and Ultimate. If you don't have one of these editions then when you click Protect Document it opens the "Restrict Editing and Formatting" task pane directly. ~Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP "LoniJ" wrote in message ...
