Word 2003 to 2007 (Drop down field)

Hi,
I have contracts that are from Word 2003 originaly. I was able to unlock the
form and view all available options in the drop down fields. When we started
using Word 2007 I openned one of the contracts to change an option in the
drop down field but can't seem to unlock it the form. The protection of the
form was taken off. I don't know if this changes anything but the form is in
compatibility mode.

Please help and thanks in advance!!

The same forms controls are available in 2007 - for ease of access to them

Usually this is caused by Design mode being automatically activated (by
macro security settings), which happens if the document contains an ActiveX
control.
