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.

Since you have been experimenting with ActiveX controls, Design Mode is
likely to be turned on. Click to turn it off; you'll find the option in the
Controls group of the Developer tab. Then you will be able to click the
Yes, Start Enforcing Protection button.
