How do I unprotect a password protected Word Form?
This has happened to me a lot, i think that it is a word flaw. I
normally close all word applications and then reboot my system. Then it normally lets me access the Protects lock on the tool bar as well as the on in tools. If this doesn't work, you could also try 1) Press F1, which will open the window help menu 2) You will see a little triangle pointer down on the top right hand side 3) Hit that and select Protected Documents This will open the side window for Protecting Documents which may help with your problem. Hope this helps ~Amanda~ |

How do I unprotect a password protected Word Form?
Thank you very much. I had tried inserting the form into a blank document
but it changed the formatting. I had seen the previous messages about "Control Toolbox Control" but didn't realize that my form had used that feature when I created it. Following WD2002 worked perfectly. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Create a new blank document and insert the form.

Thank you for your help. I tried your first suggestion but it did not fix
the problem. I was able to fix it using Susan's 2nd suggestion. Thanks anyway. "AmandaH" wrote: This has happened to me a lot, i think that it is a word flaw.
