How do I unlock Word 2003?

I have read the answers to similar questions and they didn’t work.

Word 2003 is activated and has been since I instilled it.

I use it everyday constantly and have used it thousands of times. It is not any kind of trial version. I bought it in a store a long time ago (2003). I just tried to create a PDF and got the locked (by me) message (nothing about password). I’ve created hundreds of PDFs and it has never done this before.

Can someone give me step by step e.g. 1, 2, 3, instructions to unlock it?

Word 2003- Tools- Unprotect Document does not exist

Word 2003 has arbitrarily (I didn’t do it) locked itself.

I find instructions for Tools, Unprotect Document.

Protect Document is in the dropdown under Tools.

Unprotect Document is not.

How do I unprotect (unlock) Word 2003?

Answer

Solved:

Foxit would not make the PDF because I had the Word doc open. When I closed the Word doc, Foxit made the PDF.

I just need to remember that from now on.

Thanks
