Default Unprotect

Sounds silly, but someone who no longer works here protected a form. Instead
of re-creating I wondered if there was a way to un-protect?

Default Unprotect

If Tools | Unprotect Document doesn't do the trick (if there's a password,
for example), create a new blank document and use Insert | File to insert
the form document, which will remove the protection.
