I was contacted by Gerald who had this problem and after a bit of research I found the answer. The text explaining how to do this can be found at http://www.word07.com/locking.htm, however to explain a bit more, here are a few pictures and words. The problem arises when you "group" some text in the developer tab, so the answer is to ungroup it.
- 1st off, ensure the developer tab is showing by going to the file (round pearl menu button in the top left corner) and selecting the button on the bottom of the menu called "Word Options". This will bring you up a screen as below
- Now ensure the developer toolbar is enabled with a tick as in the picture
- Go to the document and find the text that you can't modify
- Ensure the developer toolbar is displayed and click in the document where the text is and then press the Group button in the toolbar and press the Ungroup option as below
- That is it - you should now be able to modify the text without any problems.
If this does not solve your problem, please e-mail me at [email protected] with contact details as Microsoft are keen to get further information to investigate the problem and resolve it.
thanks
David
