Word forms conversion
I've opened a form (that I created in Word 2003) in Word 2007. It shows that
there is no restriction on the form when I check the protection settings, but I cannot get into design mode - and all the form commands are greyed out. I have checked all security properties and there is no visible protection or lock on the document or the form and it's fields. How can I get into design mode? |

Word forms conversion
Note that a document saved in Word 97-2003 format cannot make use of the new
content controls of Word 2007, which is why those options are greyed out on the Developer tab. But you can click the Legacy Tools button and insert the older form fields found there. And you should be able to right-click an existing form field and choose Properties from the context menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kristina" wrote in message ...
