Ms Word FOrms

[Guest]

I created a Form in MsWord using Text boxes & Check boxes. I protect the
document for FOrms using Password. I dont know what I did later, that the
unprotect button is now disabled and I am not able to do anything with the
file.

How do i change it to is original unprotected mode and make it editable.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?VW1h?=,

I created a Form in MsWord using Text boxes & Check boxes. I protect the
document for FOrms using Password. I dont know what I did later, that the
unprotect button is now disabled and I am not able to do anything with the
file.

How do i change it to is original unprotected mode and make it editable.

Did you insert the boxes from the CONTROLS toolbox or the FORMS toolbar?

If the Controls toolbox, then the answer is that your macro security is set
to "High", thus locking you out of the document. You need to set the macro
security to "Medium" and trust the document when Word prompts you about
macros.

The ActiveX controls from the Controls toolbox trigger macro security,
because they contain macro elements.
