Unprotecting Documents setup by someone else
I am currently working at a company where the person who was in my job prior
to me starting password protected all the policies and procedures the company uses (I work in HR). We have a new management team and are wanting to update all our docs. I am unable, however, to access these forms to make changes, due to the password protections. Any thoughts on either how to "unlock" these forms? I've tried copying and pasting, but it totally distorts eveything. |

Hi Suaavve,
Unless you can get the passwords back from the person who set them, the best option is to use one of the commercial password retrieval/removal tools. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Suaavve" wrote in message ...
