converting Word Templates from 2003 to 2007
In Word 2003 there is a lock feature that opens & shuts down the template
features and allows one to copy the document (among other features). When I copy the template to Word 2007, I can't get out of template and activate the "select all" and "copy features" I need to be able to do this to utilize the template. Thanks-- Howard |

converting Word Templates from 2003 to 2007
From your contorted description, it sounds as though your 'template' is not
a template from which you create documents, but a pro-forma protected form. Either way protected forms created in Word 2003 are still usable in Word 2007. You will find the forms tools on the developer tab of the ribbon (which is not present by default, but can be added from Word Options Popular.) If you do a lot of work with forms then you will find http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm useful. If you have to unlock a form in order to use it, then you should consider whether such a form is the best approach for your document. Forms are best employed solely for filling in the form fields. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Howard wrote: In Word 2003 there is a lock feature that opens & shuts down the template features and allows one to copy the document (among other features).
