Stop Recording button disappears

[Angie C.]

Trying to set up my first macro. Creating one to apply document protection
using the following steps:

Protect Document - Restrict Formatting and Editing - Allow Only This Type of
Editing - Filling in Forms - Select Selections - Yes, Start Enforcing
Protection - OK when prompted for password (don't want a password set)

After clicking on "OK" for the password, the Stop Recording button
disappears (no longer available as an option -- can see it but, can't click
on it).

Any ideas?

Cindy - It's a 2003 file that I'm opening with 2007. Tried using 2003 to
record the macro, but that didn't work either.

The Stop Recording toolbar disappears because the action of protecting the
document for Forms disables recording and stops the current recording. You
will not be able to record further actions till you remove the protection.

Tony -- Thanks so much for your help.
