The IT shop here at my day job had to rebuild my entire system profile last week (Windows 2003) due to a power supply problem, and I've lost some critical functionality under Office 2003. My problem is that I can't set Forms protection on any of my Word documents. This is something that I have been able to do for years and has saved me many hours of re-coding, as the folks here just love to poke around under the hood and tinker with things ... the problem being they don't know a thing about what they're doing. Complicating things is the fact that none of the folks in our IT shop have a clue about VBA; to them it is literally a foreign language so they have no idea what they might have done to mess things up.
The problem presents as follows: When I select "Protect document" under Tools it brings up the Protect Document sidebar, with Option 2 (Editing restrictions) already selected for "Filling in forms" ... But Option 3 (Start enforcement) grayed out. No matter how I approach this the result is the same; I end up with Option 3 unavailable and the document unprotected.
Anybody out there have a solution to this one?
