SYMPTOMS
Under certain conditions, you may be unable to access all of the commands in Word, or you may be unable to move the insertion point to certain areas of the document.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if document protection is enabled.
The "More Information" section of this document lists commands that are available when document protection is enabled.
NOTE: It is possible to customize all of the menus, keyboard commands, and so forth, with AutoNew macros. Also, add-in products (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Bookshelf) modify menu choices. Customization may also produce the behavior described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
WORKAROUND
To gain access to all of the menu commands and areas of a document, unprotect the document.
To unprotect a document, click Unprotect Document on the Tools menu.
MORE INFORMATION
The following commands are available when your document is protected.
Revisions
