Ohh no 😞 no, the document is not protected at all. So is there anything I could do to change that variable field? Or use some other program similar to Word in which I can change it?

Thank you so much for your answer, Stefan!
If you have access to a PC, you could test if the controls become editable after you open the document on the PC.
Or you could share the document (or a representative shortened sample version) with the forum, if you want to.
Thank you, Stefan. I don't have a PC unfortunately. I only have the Mac.
This is a sample version.
Thank you so mucho for your help!
Your sample document contains a Date Picker control. If I open the document on my PC, and click inside the control, I can see its properties after having clicked the Properties button on the Developer tab. See the screen shot below.
I don't know if this helps at all with your corresponding settings in Word for Mac.
- Hi, Stefan.
Yes, that's exactly what I need. I used to do it when I had a Windows laptop, but now in the Mac that option is unabled, it appears in gray and I don't know how to activate it. That was my initial question. So I guess it's the Mac and as you said before, it does not work 😞
