I am using MS Word 2000. I have several documents that were created with an
older version of word that have been saved and transferred to this computer.
When I try to edit them they are protected. However, when I click the padlock
on the toolbar to turn the protection off all of the information filled out
in the form goes blank!Help!
How do I edit the form without having to fill the entire thing out again?!?

You will need to use a macro to re-apply the protection

ActiveDocument.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset

Hope this helps,
