Reading Word protected documents on my laptop

[Guest]

I have written a document in word that I have protected for editing fields.
When I save the document onto a memory stick and run on my laptop, the
document will open as read only with no editable fields. If I remove
protection via a password, the document turns into a normal document. How do
I re-instate protected fields on my laptop?

Don't 'save' to removable memory. Save to the hard drive and *COPY* to
removable memory instead, then *COPY* to your laptop before opening it.

Thanks. I did what you said but it made no difference. When I open the
document after copy, it still has no editable fields. When I remove
protection, it is just a normal document with no highlighted fields.

It is difficult to visualise what the problem is here.
If you open the document again on the PC it was created on, does it open
correctly?
If that document has fields and then you open it on another PC and it
doesn't, then that sounds illogical. Send the document to the link on my web
site and let me see what you are doing.

Before Graham takes the time to analyze the doc let me ask a basic question
or two since you don't specifically say:

Did you actually *Insert* any editable fields into the doc before protecting
it? If so, what type and how?
