Word: Pen tools in protected view

Hi,
I have a word 2010 document on a tablet Win7 PC. The document is 3 sections; the first two are protected while the last one is not.
The "Pens" tab gets grayed out in protected view but I need a way to activate it when the user moves to the unprotected section in order to capture signature.
Thank you
If the protection is there because you are using Legacy FormFields. you could make use of Content Controls instead as they do not require that protection be applied to the document.
Hope this helps,
