I created a form last year using Word 2003 and protected it. Now I have Word
2007 and I am at the pane where I see the protect logo. Unrestricted access
is clicked but I cannot make any edits to the form. I need to update dates
but otherwise want to use the form over to save me a lot of time.

This used to be so simple...
 
You need to click Restrict Formatting and Editing instead. This will display
a task pane and where you'll find the Stop Protection command.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.
