Default Unprotect a Word 2007 document

Pam,

After going to the Review Pane, the Restrict Permissions option was set to
"Unrestricted Access". The document was still locked from editing. After
reading YOUR post to look for the button to "Stop Protection" under the
Restrict Formatting and Editing pane it successfully Unprotected the document
and I can now resume editing.
Thank You Very Much for your Post. I spent an hour googling a resolution to
no avail until I finally found your Post.

Much Appreciated

The button to stop protection is at the bottom of the Restrict formatting and
editing pane. ...Easy to overlook.
