Unprotect Word doc
(OP)
Over a year ago I created a Word document form for engineers to input data in only certain cells. Somehow I protected the whole document so they can not edit the form. Now I can't unprotect the form. Unprotect in greayed out. Can anyone help? Thank you

If it is password protected (dont think this is what your referring too), then you need a password cracker or send it in to someone to crack for you. There are some shareware programs for this but they are generally limited in the number of characters in the password to 6.

2. Save it as a rtf file
3. Close file
4. Open the rtf file ( this will remove the protection)
