Unprotect Button in Word 2007 Enterprise Edition

[AlcatrazSmedry]

How do you unprotect forms in Word 2007 Enterprise Edition? The Protect
Document button, restrict format and editing action that's working for
everyone else brings up the Information Rights Management (IRM) panel in the
Enterprise Edition. What I need is the Protect Document task pane so I can
unprotect a form created in 2003 for easy editing.

Go to Office button > Word Options > Customize, set the category to
Commands Not in the Ribbon, and add the Lock command to the Quick
Access Toolbar. That doesn't have all the functionality of the Protect
Document task pane, but it will let you unprotect and reprotect a
form.
