Remove editing restrictions

[shrimply]

Hi, I'm not sure if you can help me or not, I realise this may not be something that the rules allow you to answer.

 

However, I thought I'd ask as its beginning to annoy me and I've done it before but can't now.

 

My sister has asked me to alter a word document (.doc)for her, its to do with her school work and it has editing restrictions, to only allow the filling of the correct sections, but there are certain sections that don't apply to her or need to be slightly different due to the type of music she is doing. The school are determined to teach classical and she is doing traditional music, the powers that be have deemed this OK but the department itself are making it as difficult as possible. I by the way am not a musician so this is as much as I know.

 

I know in the past that I've used 7-zip to open the document archive and then altered or deleted one section but can't work out what it is and google is being totally useless.

 

As I say understand if you think this is against the rules but some help would be good.

 

Thanks

I know this sounds too simple, and it may not work as I don't know what the restrictions consist of, but have you tried an entire copy and paste into another or new word document? this just might over rule the editing restrictions if they are only simple ones.

Thanks I persevered and won, it was completely locked, so apart from the sections you were allowed to fill in you couldn't copy anything.

 

However, after saving as a .docx file its only the difference between a 1 and a 0, like most things in computing.
