Trouble with forms I created in Word 2003
Unrestricted Access is a different kind of protection. Instead, you must
click on Restrict Formatting and Editing. In the pane that opens, click on Stop Protection. For greater convenience, put the Protect/Unprotect button (padlock icon and called Lock in the All Commands list) on your QAT. -- Suzanne S.

I can even see the Legacy Forms palette, but I can't access anything on it. It is all grayed out. I seem to be "locked out" of nearly everything and it is so frustrating. I have even set the Protect Forms to "unrestricted access". There must be something really basic that I am missing. I can't change fonts, access header/ footer-- practically the entire ribbon in any tab. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

Unfortunately, the Legacy Forms palette has everything *except* the Lock/Unlock button, but you can add this to your QAT through Customize. Meanwhile, you can access the Protect Document pane from the Review tab (also from the Developer tab). -- Suzanne S.

Recently upgraded to Office 2007. I can't seem to access many things in the "ribbon" in order to unlock the form and/or make any changes, access the header/ footer etc. I have spent hours trying to figure this out and have tried things I have seen in various forums to no avail. Please help! . |
