Please ignore this request as I found the solution at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;290949&Product=offxp . For those interested... you
have to exit the document, got to Tools, Macro, Security
and then change your security level from High (which
automatically blocks macros) to Medium. Close and restart
Word for the security change to take effect. The locking
padlock is then enabled on the Forms toolbar.
