I think we've had that one dinned into us just *because* of the perversity
of it (and it seems to have come up a lot).

On the other hand, I remember other commands that are not logical, for
example, Insert tab | Object | Text from File for the Insert File dialog
box. But I guess in this case at least the first step ("Insert") makes
sense. :-)

It's easy to forget because it's not a really intuitive or logical
location
for it; I always have to fire up Word 2007 and look to be sure.

I did notice that "Miss" was not identical to the original poster.

Thanks for reminding me that Protect Document is also on the Review tab,
which I keep forgetting for some reason.

Note that "Miss" is not the OP ("tberry"), who clearly mentions
toolbars
and menus. Very likely "Miss" doesn't even need to access the Forms
tools
or the Developer tab (the Legacy Forms palette doesn't include the
Lock/Unlock button, anyway) and can instead just use the Protect
Document
button on the Review tab.

Apparently you are using Word 2007. To access the form options in that
version, you will have to display the Developer tab; here's how to do
that:
Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Popular
category, select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" and click OK. On
the
Developer tab, you can then insert form fields via the Legacy Tools
button
(in the Controls group); there is also a Properties button for
specifying
field options. Click the Protect Document button whenever you want to
turn
protection on and off.

When I right click it, the only available option is "minimize ribbon"

Right-click on any toolbar and choose Forms from the menu. Or use

Toolbars and choose it.

ok on the Forms toolbar, as stated. Sorry but I don't seem to
know
where
the
Forms toolbar is. My toolbars are almost completely greyed out
and
under
tools I only have the option to "protect" not "unprotect" and it
is
grey.

Have you tried Tools | Unprotect Document? Or Using your
Forms
toolbar,
clicking on the lock icon? If the document is password
protected,
you
will
need to know the password.
