How do I unlock and old "form" document?
I have had so much trouble with an old "form" that I annually use! This form
is "locked" and I cannot edit to update the form for use this year! Here are things I have tried after reading other peoples' comments: (1) yes 2007 is activated (2) yes I have converted the file (3) I cannot "unlock" the document!!! Any ideas? |

The easier way is to go to Office button Word Options Customize, choose the All Commands category, and add the Lock command to the Quick Access Toolbar. This toggles forms protection on and off, like the lock icon on the Forms toolbar of Word 2003. The more roundabout way is to go to the Review tab of the ribbon and click the Protect Document button, which opens the task pane. At the bottom of the task pane should be a button that says "Stop Protection". After editing the form, click the "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" button in the task pane. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
