Cannot "select" graphic

[Karla V]

A coworker has typed a newsletter in Word and would like to insert a graphic.
However, when she does, you can no longer "select" the graphic to
move/resize, set wrap, etc. I've had this happen before as well, but cannot
remember the fix.
It almost appears as though the graphic has been set to "behind text" or is
more of a watermark, but no settings have been changed. Any ideas on how to
grab onto this graphic?

If the graphic is Behind Text, display the Drawing toolbar and click on the
Select Objects tool (the big white arrow toward the left end). This allow
you to select graphics without touching text.

If the graphic is a watermark, it will be anchored to the header or footer,
and you must be in Header/Footer view in order to select it.

Here's the odd thing...the Select Object tool is grayed out so I cannot even
select the graphic that way. Also, Header/Footer on the View drop-down menu
is grayed as well so I cannot check if the graphic is attached to the footer
either. I don't believe this is the case, though.

I had my co-worker e-mail me a copy without the graphic and I inserted it
myself and have had the same results she had. However, when I insert the
graphic into a new blank document, it can be selected with no problem, so I'm
assuming there is something else happening with the settings on this
particular document. Outside of retyping the document, any other suggestions
on what to try or check next?

Thanks in advance...

If you cannot access the header/footer, possibly it is protected as
described in

After doing some more looking at the document, I discovered that it was set
up as a form. And, when the form is "locked", you can no longer edit
graphics. After unlocking the form with the p/w, I was able to successfully
select, resize, etc. the graphic. Thanks for all of your help!
