Word 2003 Forms to Word 2007 cannot edit fields

[Dianna]

I can no longer edit any form/templates. I can see the Legacy controls, but
the only one available is the text field. I have a variety of fields
(controls), none of which I can edit

Although the document is unrestricted, I cannot edit in Word 2003 (.dot) or
Word 2007 (.dotx). I've tried making a new document from a copy of the
form/template but no luck.

I can still fill in the form; I just can't edit it. Any suggestiosn?

On the Developer tab of the ribbon, click the Protect Document button to open
the task pane. There should be a button at the bottom for "Stop Protection".

An alternative is to go to Office button > Word Options > Customize, select the
All Commands category, and add the Lock icon to the Quick Access Toolbar.
