how do I unlock a document created by myself??
Have you tried Tools | Unprotect Document? Or Using your Forms toolbar,
clicking on the lock icon? If the document is password protected, you will need to know the password. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Steph" wrote: I have created a document & locked it as it is to be filled in by a number of other people. Only problem is I cannot get in to change it?? |

ok on the Forms toolbar, as stated. Sorry but I don't seem to know where the
Forms toolbar is. My toolbars are almost completely greyed out and under tools I only have the option to "protect" not "unprotect" and it is grey. "Suzanne S.

Right-click on any toolbar and choose Forms from the menu. Or use View |
Toolbars and choose it. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "tberry" wrote in message ... ok on the Forms toolbar, as stated.

Do you get a menu of toolbars when you right-click on a toolbar? Do you get
a Toolbars item on the Tools menu (you may have to expand the menu to see it)? Both of these should list the Forms toolbar. What version of Word do you have? -- Suzanne S.

Thanx. When I right-clicked on a toolbar, the drop down menu showed that my
toolbars were locked. I clicked it and removed the check next to "lock toolbar". I don't know if that is unlocking my word program or not. I can't even download a memo template and use it because it is locked already. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you get a menu of toolbars when you right-click on a toolbar?

Are you sure you were clicking on a toolbar in Word? The only thing I know
of that you can right-click on and get a message about locking or unlocking is the Windows Taskbar. There is no way (that I know of) to lock a toolbar in Word (unless by means of some add-in). Even when a document is protected for forms, you should be able to access the toolbar menu. If it is protected in some other way, then the Forms toolbar wouldn't do you any good. If you are getting a status bar message that "This command is unavailable because the document is locked for editing," then this indicates that your copy of Word has not been activated or is a trial version that has expired. -- Suzanne S.
