If the documents are password protected against opening, the simple solution
would be to ask the ex-employee for the password. If they are protected for
forms see

Word's encryption is highly effective and you will not easily get past it.

Dear Group,
We have a common problem...employee quit and has many work and excel
documents password protected. This client is using Office 2000 Prem
and the OS is Windows XP pro. Can anyone help with removing the
password(s) off these office files?
Thanks,
Alex
