I have a template containing a userform that inserts text values into a
series of custom document property fields. It's password protected so that
the only way to edit it is through the userform (which shows when document is
opened and can also been shown via a command button in the document). It's
been working fine in various environments for some months now, but having
just tried it on Word2003 I'm experiencing problems.

Once a document created from the template is closed and reopened, suddenly
the document is unprotected and it is in design mode. Closing the document
crashes word.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to possible cause? There's nothing wrong
with the Office2003 install and i have been able to replicate the problem on
another machine. No problems experienced with Word2002 or previous versions.
I've done a few googles to see if Word2003 handles protection/vba
differently but it's a very small needle in a very large haystack.

Any beacons of light greatly appreciated, before I have to take up smoking
again :)
