Is there an unlock and lock button in form tools for Word 2013?
We just upgraded to Word 2013 from Word 2003. The Form controls are different, and we can't locate the "Lock" button to easily protect and unprotect a form while in it. Our Judge used to unlock as needed, and now the only way we can seem to figure this out is to use the Restrict Editing feature which seems quite cumbersome. Does anyone know of a tutorial that would walk us through this process? We are very new at this, and can't seem to make it work with our old form fields. Thank you so much for any help or suggestions. |

You can add the Lock button to the Quick Access Toolbar (via File tab | Options | Quick Access Toolbar).

Thank you for that idea. We will try that to see if it aids in his ease with the new program.

Thank you for the template. We have successfully downloaded and saved in our templates folder, but I have to add this for every Word document I open. Is there a way to make it stay on the Developer toolbar? The file shows up in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, but the Checkbox showing what items are loaded keeps unchecking itself. Sorry but this is a first for me as far as trying to add something new to this toolbar. Thanks for your help.

Yes, put it in your Word Startup Folder. That makes it into a Global Template.

Oh my goodness that worked! I'm not a tech by any stretch of the imagination, but I figured this out using your Startup Folder document. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. We'll have one happy Judge on our hands as well as several other people who are missing these toolbar options from our version 2003 office suite.
Thanks again! Rita |

You are welcome. I'm a criminal defense lawyer so I am always happy when someone else has the job of keeping the judge happy!
