Protecting Documents in Word 2003
I am a a new user of Word 2003 and have been trying to protect an ordinary
document (not a form). I find that all the options are greyed out on the Protect Document taskpane and I'm not able to do anything. Does anybody know why? -- Katie |

Hi ?B?S2F0aWU=?=,
I am a a new user of Word 2003 and have been trying to protect an ordinary document (not a form). I find that all the options are greyed out on the Protect Document taskpane and I'm not able to do anything. Does anybody know why? Is the document set up for mail merge, by any chance?

No it isn't. It's just an ordinary document.

Hi ?B?S2F0aWU=?=,
No it isn't. It's just an ordinary document. -- Hmmm. So, you can't even tick a checkbox on this task pane? How about if you hold down CTRL when starting Word, then test with the new document Word generates? I am a a new user of Word 2003 and have been trying to protect an ordinary document (not a form).

Hi Cindy,
I've tried that but the protection works fine for new documents without holding down CTRL. It doesn't want to work for existing documents. -- Katie "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?S2F0aWU=?=, No it isn't. It's just an ordinary document. -- Hmmm.

Try copying all but the last paragraph mark to a new document. Can you now protect the new document?
