Page Setup Command Unavailable in Unprotected Section
ID: Q106342
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SYMPTOMS
In a multiple-section Word for Windows document that contains both
protected and unprotected sections, the Page Setup command on the File
menu is unavailable (dimmed) in the unprotected section.
This command should be available when the insertion point is in an
unprotected section.
STATUS
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
Do one of the following to change Page Setup settings in the
unprotected section of a document:
- Adjust the margins by dragging the margin boundaries on the rulers.
-or-
- Unprotect the document (from the Tools menu, choose Unprotect
Document), modify the Page Setup settings, and then protect
the document again (from the Tools menu, choose Protect Document).
IMPORTANT: If you enter text in your FORM fields while the document
is protected, then unprotect the document to change the Page Setup
settings, and then re-protect the document, Word removes any text
you entered in the FORM fields. In other words, Word clears the
form and resets the text in the FORM field to the default text you
defined when you created the form. Although this is a drawback to
the above workaround, it is a design feature of Word.
