Problem saving changes to a form

[G Le Maire]

I have one secretary using Word 2002. We use forms for some of our
documents. The problem is when unprotecting the form to make a change not
within the original document and then reprotecting the form reverts to the
"shell" form, with no information. And, we have no idea where the completed
/ corrected form was saved. But once we close out and reopen we can get the
changed form back up. Any ideas?

I'm not entirely sure if this is your issue:
