How to unprotect and search a Word2007 doc?
I have got a Word 2007 doc which contains some entry fields.
Outside of the (grey background) entry fields users cannot edit the text. 1.) How can I unprotect the Word 2007 doc and edit all text? 2.) How can I insert one more editable entry field into the current otherwise partially protected document? 3.) Assuming that the current document is partially protected it should be searchable anyway. However when I press the key combination Ctrl+F nothing happend. I expected a find pattern entry field popup dialog as usual. How else can I search such a partially protected document? Peter |

Your description suggests you're using a document with formfields. These can be unprotected (which stops the fields working) via 'Restrict Editing' on the Developer tab. If the forms protection has a password, you'll need that too. By design, Find/Replace, spell-checking and a host of other things are not allowed in such documents.
