Editing documents with protected text fields

gr00m · 11-19-2008, 10:17 AM

We recently upgraded to Word 2007 from 2003. In 2003 we created and use a lot of documents that had fields. Now in 2007, I don't think we quite know how to edit them or unprotect them. It seems we can either lock the document and edit the fields or lock the fields and edit the document, but not unlock the entire document to be able to do both.

Any help???

Hi gr00m,

If you've unlocked the document, you have the same editing abilities as in Word 2003.

Perhaps you could explain the problem in more detail.
