Drawing toolbar buttons greyed out

[Joel R.]

Please excuse this post if it's been addressed before, but I'm having a
problem where certain options on the Insert | Picture menu and the Drawing
toolbar are disabled. This only occurs on documents that I are generated from
templates with protected sections in them. (I'll have one section with
controls that is protected and section break before the body of the document
where people type the body of the letter or memo or whatever.)

It doesn't seem to make sense that this would cause issues with drawings but
when the user inserts a picture from file, some options are greyed out.

Thanks for any ideas.
