I am in Word 2007, using a form that I created in Word 2003. I followed Jay's
steps (from July, 2008) to "Check the box for "Allow only this type of
editing in the document" and set the dropdown below that to "Filling in
forms". Then click the "Yes, start enforcing protection" button."

However, the "start enforcing protection" is greyed out and won't let me
re-protect the form. How would I fix this? Anyone have any ideas?

If the document is a main document in a mail merge then the "Start
Protection" button will be disabled. On the Mailings tab click Start Mail
Merge and make sure "Normal Word Document" is selected.
