Where can I find the Protect Document' button? If it is the one on
the Developer Tab, it shows 'unrestricted access ' and I still can't
end the form created in Word 2003.

This is a two-step process. First go to Office Button | Word Options
| Popular and check the box for "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon."
Then select the Developer tab and look at the Controls group. If you
mouse over the bottom right unlabeled icon, you'll see the ScreenTip
"Legacy Tools." This will open a palette that contains most of the
buttons from the Forms toolbar. Noticeably absent is the padlock
button to protect/unprotect the form. For this you'll need the
Protect Document button in the Protect group, which will open the
familiar Protect Document task pane.
