Formatting restrict will not let me check the box.
Hi Robin,
Someone might, but I don't :-) I'm using Word 2003 mainly. I found I had this issue with (so far) one document. In my case all three of the options in the "Protect Document" task pane were disabled. Nothing special that I know of with the the document. I couldn't see anything unusual under File/Properties or Tools/Options. Tried saving the document as a .rtf file, re-opening it and saving back as a ..doc file. Still disabled. Tried saving it as a template and creating a new document from the template. No good. Ran a macro to check the current protection status. It was -1 (wdNoProtection). Tried Googling. Didn't find an answer. Tried copying the document's content (including in this case the last paragraph mark) into a new document and the new document did not have the problem. Hopefully someone can suggest a better answer, but if not maybe the copy to new document could be a last resort. Regards.
