The long way around: On the Review tab of the ribbon, click the Protect
Document button and choose Restrict Formatting and Editing. When the pane
appears on the right, click the Stop Protection button at the bottom (and
supply a password if one is needed).
What if the default setting is already "Unrestricted Access" (in spite of it
still being a clearly locked form) and clicking prompts me to install a
Windows Rights Management client? I created and locked the form (on this same
machine and this version of Word and Windows) myself a couple of weeks ago.
How do I restore my own access in order to edit?
The short way, after a one-time setup: Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar
and choose Customize. Set the category dropdown to Commands Not In the
Ribbon. Click on the Lock command and click the Add button, then OK. Click
that button on the Quick Access Toolbar once to unlock, and again to lock
the form.
