Simple form, impossible to find a solution
in [Document Management]

From: Graham Mayor on 5 Jun 2010 01:06 Ensure that any form created in Word 2007 for use in Word 2003 is saved in Word97-2003 document format or when opened via the converter in Word 2003, the form will be unlocked. Forms created and protected in Word 2003 should work exactly the same in Word 2007. For help on creating protected forms, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm In order to use form fields in Word 2007, you will need to display the Developer tab (Office Button > Word Options > Popular > Show the Developer tab in the Ribbon) and then use the Legacy Forms controls from the Legacy Tools palette in the Controls group on that tab. You will find those controls more accessible if you modify the ribbon as described at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "1abc" <1abc(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B209D437-CE0F-4BE5-B472-BC7D9F89118E(a)microsoft.com... > Hi Jay and Stefan, > > So far I managed to find the "Protect document" button in the Developper's > Ribbon. > > As I use a Dutch interface it's a bit difficult to sort this out. > Given the importance of this issue for me and due to the fact that I have > to > use both Word 2003 and 2007 in my PC in order to be able to use a huge > amount > of forms created in 2003 as I can't find the way to use them in 2007, I'd > really appreciate if you could contact me on private.

From: 1abc on 5 Jun 2010 10:40 I wish to thank all of you Jay, Stefan, Suzanne and Graham for the right suggestion and help. Once I identified the right'"Lock button" and added it to my Word 2007 tools ribbon all works perfectly and in the same way as in Word 2003. "1abc" wrote: > Hi all, > My quesdtion is very simple.
