Default Password error from Word2003 to Word2007

Hi Tony,

I don't see this problem. How are you converting the document, and how are
you saving the document? And what do you mean by 'both passwords'?

users in the company are working either with w2003 or w2007. Those who
made a w2003 document (which is a form and therefore automatically
password protected) send this to another user. Some of them sometimes
use w2007, so they convert their file into a docx-document.
When opening the docx, an add-in needs to unprotect the file with the
same password and stops because w2007 doesn't accept the w2003
password. We checked it manually: a w2003-doc with password, converted
into w2007-docx, cannot be unprotected with this password!

So what to do?

bye, Lorenz
