I have a multi-page, protected, report template created in Word 2003. The
first page is a protected section, as it contains several drop downs and
check marks. The second page begins "free form" narrative, which is not in a
protected section. In Word 2003 the "bullet" button is active and can be
used to bullet a list. Now using the same template in Word 2007, once the
document is protected, the "bullet" button on the ribbon becomes disabled,
even on the second page that is outside of the protected section. How can we
enable the "bullet" button in Word 2007?

Note that Word 2007 allows you to use Quick Styles (those listed in the
Styles group on the Home tab of the ribbon) in unprotected sections of
protected documents.

So I'd suggest that you add a bulleted style to the Quick Styles list: Press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click Options. Choose to display all
styles. Click OK. In the Styles pane, locate the desired style (say List
Bullet). Right-click and choose Add to Quick Style Gallery from the context
menu.
