IRM set up for Office 365

PROBLEM HAS SINCE BEEN RESOLVED AND..... WELL..... I WAS THE PROBLEM.....

I'm attempting to create a template with some drop down lists and check boxes, currently when people open the document I created they can't actually select anything from the drop down list. an article suggested that I should Restrict the editing of the document. When attempting to do so I get the following error: "Your machine isn't set up for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to Office, open an existing IRM protected message or document or contact your help desk"

Please assist if you know how this problem can be solved

Kind Regards

Lana

Answer

There is no need to get involved with IRM and "normal Office 365" is certainly capable of creating dropdown list that work.

What type of Dropdown lists and Check Boxes are you using.  With Word 2013, you should probably use Content Controls.

If you want to send your template to me, I will take a look at it and let you know how to go about it.
