I created a document in word with various drop down menus, fillable text boxes, and references that populate other parts of the document based on what was entered/selected. The document is currently in protected mode which forces my users to populate only the forms or drop downs.



Now, I want them to be able to save their documents with the values they entered as an unprotected, fully editable document as if they typed the entire document up themselves. If I just take it out of protected mode, you can still see where data was entered via a form field, and if you click on a drop down, you can see the other options that were available.

How can I save the completed form as a static document?

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
With ActiveDocument
.Unprotect
.Fields.Unlink
.Save
End With
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Or, without a macro, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Shift-F9 (or, if you want to be able to re-use the formfields later, Ctrl-F11).
