How do I unprotect a document if I can't press the unprotect butt.
I've got problems after saving a protected document to unprotect it. I
protected the document so only the form fields could be edited. And now Word won't let me unprotect the document. Thanks for any hint or solution! Oliver |

I think the original poster said that it isn't letting her unprotect the
document. Sounds like she knows how to do it, it just isn't letting her...

I interpreted the post to mean that the poster couldn't click the lock on
the Forms toolbar, probably because it is not showing. Could be wrong, you are welcome to go into details on how to use vba to unprotect or to replicate the text from the document in a new one if you wish. I'll wait to know that this is needed. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi ?B?b2dydW5kbWFubg==?=,
I've got problems after saving a protected document to unprotect it. I protected the document so only the form fields could be edited. And now Word won't let me unprotect the document. I assume you used the Control Toolbox for the form fields. This activates the macro storage area of the document. Thus, re-opening triggers macro security. From the sound of it, your macro security is set to "High". You have to reduce it to "medium" in order to unprotect or work with the document. Or, you have to recreate the form using the Forms toolbar.
