Grayed-out editing restriction tab

Hello,

I didn’t understand how you proceed.
Please explain in detail, and don't forget to specify your version and the type of controls used.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your responses.

M@rina,

To put it simply, I performed a mail merge on a document to which I added some input fields (developer --> plain text content control)
I would like to do as I usually do with forms to restrict editing by going to developer --> restrict editing, which would allow me to modify only the input fields.
My problem is that in the window that opens on the right, everything is greyed out (see http://cjoint.com/?3Lwn2TnNO9g)

I am using Word 2010 and Windows XP

C-Claire,

I tried checking by starting the merge and mail merge, but I don't see any "letter" or "normal Word document" option

Could you please tell me where you found that?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Sorry, but it's not any clearer!

When you say "I performed a mail merge"... did you really execute that mail merge or are you referring to the main mail merge document?

If it's the latter case, the answer is brief: you cannot protect a main mail merge document, and for good reason.

Hello M@rina and C-Claire,

Thank you for your help, everything is working perfectly. I managed to protect my mail-merged document while keeping the input fields active.

Thank you so much!! :)
