my word is locked not on a document just locked
Hi Jean,
try this,ý open MS Word, from tools menu select options then security tab then if you can see a button ýwith name "Unprotect Document" select it and i hope it will not ask you for a password.ý ý ý if all of this not worked or if the button "Protect Document" instead of "Unprotect Document" try ýthis,ý while MS Word is closed, search for "Normal.dot" file on your hard drive, then rename that file ýý(cause word will build another one automatically - or you can do it manually - if it not found, and ýrename better than delete,so you can restore it if you have any problem).ý If you found more than one file, then just rename the one from your user profile folder hope it help Fadi "jean" wrote in message ...
