"protect document" is disabled...

[glendeek]

i am creating a MS Word 2000 form .dot. I want to "protect document > forms"
so that people can tab through and answer question. The document was
actually two documents that I put together and are kind of in different
formats. My "protect document" selection is Greyed-out... What does this
mean?

protected????

This is NOT a VBA question, which is why you've not gotten an answer.

My guess would be that you've use the Control Toolbox to create the form, thus
triggering macro security. You either need to set macro security to "Middle", so
that you can tell Word to enable the fields. Or you need to create your form
using FORM fields, from the Forms toolbar.
