unable to protect document word 2007
LoveMe,
Don't know about the encryption bit but have you tried the Review tab on the ribbon, in the protect group, protect document button. In the task pane you can indicate what the user will be able to do, when you get to step 3 you will get the opportunity to assign a password to the file. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint blog: www.sixtiesfan.multiply.com/ "LoveMe" schreef in bericht ...

The Protect Document command on the Review tab falls into the category of
"collaborative protection" and not document security which is what the Encrypt Document command provides. When you encrypt a document the password must be known to open the file. When you use Protect Document anyone can open the file but the password must be known to modify the protection options. And, documents protected using Protect Document is easily by-passed but cracking a password to open a file is next to impossible depending on the password used to secure the file.

Yes, compatibility mode also, using Vista
Review protection document does not protect the document from opening, as I need. The file close normally, when opening the document open it goes straight to the document. -- Ed "LoveMe" wrote: Want to protect word 2007 document.

Yes, going through these steps:
Went to tool €śPrepare, Inspect Document €ś it will process twice in this order€ť (inspection takes place, the there will be red after the process. These flags indicate of areas that inspection did not find €śyou have a option to remove the condition Which I did.€ť Close the tool then go to €śEncrpt Document€ť. Two screens will come up asking to put your selected password in then a follow up screen to confirm the password. When closing the file word as to save response €śyes.€ť Open the file the password screen will appear. Now testing on the hard drive was good, but when I test the procedures on the jump drive, it does not work. I'm new at this thanks.... -- Ed "LoveMe" wrote: Yes, compatibility mode also, using Vista Review protection document does not protect the document from opening, as I need.
