disabled macros in document MikeB <MPBrede[ at ]gmail.com> 10/26/2008 2:20:47 AM I'm not finding what I'm looking for when I search. I have a document, that when I open it has the Macro options grayed out. It also has forms on it that I cannot seem to change. Other documents that I have opens normally, so it must be some start- up macro/code embedded in this document. Is there a way that I can disable this so I can open the document to make modifications to it? Thanks

Re: disabled macros in document "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10/26/2008 3:23:38 AM It sounds likely to be a protected form. Unless it is password-protected, you can probably use Tools | Unprotect Document to unlock it. If that doesn't work, then you can insert it into a new blank document (using Insert | File), which removes the protection. -- Suzanne S.
