I think there may be some confusion on the type of password that was set on
the documents. The information on Graham's page is for recovering a
passwords used to protect Word documents for forms/read only/tracked changes
which are all collaborative tools and aren't intended to be used for
security. When a document has been protected for collaboration then it can
be opened in Word and they can be easily bypassed. If a password is required
to open the document then Graham's page isn't applicable.

I hardly think that Word documents saved in 1994 had XML metadata stored
along with them. And so, the information on your page would not be
useful.
Thirdly, there are MANY tools out there that use different techniques to
open a Word document that is password protected, here is just one example
of a very good tool:

I'm sorry Graham, but your information is just either wrong or not
applicable in this circumstance.
