Cannot edit text boxes in Word document.
My predecessor created the document I am using, and even though the text
boxes on the first page can be edited, past that they are all locked somehow. I have checked the lock document settings and I cannot figure out how she managed to do this. Any ideas are appreciated. |

Cannot edit text boxes in Word document.
If you're certain taht the doc is _not_ protected (ToolsProtect/UnProtect) a
couple other possibilities are; 1- If the text in the boxes appears to be gray they are probably in the Header?Footer 'layer' of the doc, or 2- They may have been pasted in as pictures rather than actual text boxes.

Cannot edit text boxes in Word document.
The document is definitely not protected, as least not under ToolsProtect.
The numbers are not part of the Header/Footer layer. If they are pasted in as pictures, shouldn't I be able to click on them, like I can with the other pictures in the same document? Or is there some way to lock pictures? Thanks for your help.

You mentioned numbers. Do they run down the side of the page? If so,
check your page setup. On the layout tab, click the Line Numbers button. If that is the culprit, then there will be check marks enabling the feature. If that is not the issue, then please describe more fully what you are not able to click on. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
