Hi,
My boss was sent a word document from another surveying firm to use as a traverse sheet. It's just needed to cut and paste text into, but we need to edit some of the lines. However all the lines that make up the table to enter the data into are grey and you can't select them. Does anyone know why this might be and how to solve it? We're using Word 2003 |

You would need to unlock the form - see

Thanks for that, it doesn't come up asking for a password or anything like
that though?

Thanks Graham,
I did try that and there was no 'password' contained in the document apparently. Are there any other suggestions?

If there is no password you should be able to unlock the form from the forms
toolbar or from tools protect document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stuck survey tech wrote: Thanks Graham, I did try that and there was no 'password' contained in the document apparently.

Thanks for your help Graham. I had tried that and it didn't work, but I have
found out that it's because it's not a template at all its a header and footer that just so happens has lines in it that covers the page and stuff... I shouldv'e guessed that seeing as it was greyed out but seeing as I rarely use word I'm an amatuer haha. Thanks heaps for your help though, Cheers.
