Forms locking
HI set up form in word - now everytime I open up the form
it is locked and the toolbar that is suppose to "unlock" forms is shaded except for the "A" for shading. I tried opening up previous examples of this form that had been filled in and they are also automatically locked and no way to unlock - can't save as and get around it either. Help if you can. Thanks |

I suspect you have a password set. Try Tools = Unprotect document.
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
