MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2008CAN'T PROTECT OR UNPROTECT DOC
Word 2007/VISTA I am working in a document that has a good number of text form fields. I had been protecting and unprotecting the document for a couple of hours, entering info, etc. All of a sudden, the "Yes, start enforcing protection" button became greyed out, and I can't edit in the form fields. The "Allow only this type of editing . . ." box is checked with "Filling in forms" selected. The only thing I am aware of that I was doing differently just before noticing the problem was trying to add an Active X text box and Option button to the document. I deleted these, and then noticed that I could no longer protect the document. Ideas?  SignatureWilliam Using ActiveX controls forces the document into Design Mode. On the Developer tab, click the Design Mode button (in the Controls group) to turn off the setting. Then you should be able to enforce protection again.

I was working along fine, then couldn't protect the document. Something I can do in Word 2003? > You are welcome--and thank you for the feedback. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >> > no > >> > longer protect the document. Ideas? I wrote to you about 30 minutes ago. I just realized that the user had Design Mode turned on.
