Default how do I unlock a document created by myself??

Do you get a menu of toolbars when you right-click on a toolbar? Do you get
a Toolbars item on the Tools menu (you may have to expand the menu to see
it)? Both of these should list the Forms toolbar. What version of Word do
you have?

I have right-clicked on my toolbar and nothing happens - I right-clicked
on
a toolbar outside of my document and no Forms appears in the menu. View
doesn't show the option either and tools show Protect document but it is
in
grey. I never locked this document it just happened

Please Help - Susan

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