How do "unlock" a word doc so elements can editied?
I downloaded a word doc that's formatted with fields etc. and I can't change
some of the elements. E.g. I can't change the header and footer (when I go to the View menu the header/footer option is gray and can't be opened), I can't copy the tables etc. |

Apparently the author didn't intend to have it modified. You can go to
ToolsUnProtect Document, but you will probably be prompted for a password. If you don't know what it is you won't be able to turn the protection off. The Protect Document Task Pane should let you know if/where you can enter or edit Regards |:) "lllenore564" wrote: I downloaded a word doc that's formatted with fields etc. and I can't change some of the elements.
