Copy a protected document
I have a protected word document (password unknown). By reading several
postings, it seems as though I should still be able to copy text from the document to paste into a new doc. Copy and paste is gray, Ctrl+A doesn't work, ect. Is there a way to copy protected text? Thanks. |

Copy a protected document
In further researching . . . documents that are protected as a form will not
allow copying. However, if you create a new document and click the Insert menu and choose File, you can insert the protected document and it will then be unprotected.
