Batch process to change Word docs security level?
Is there a way to automate changing the security option of standard Word documents to make them read only or password protected? It's easy enough to do one by one (Tools -- Options -- Security) but I'd go crazy having to do this for several hundred. I'm using Word 2003 on a Windows XP platform. Thanks. pjs |

Thanks for pointing me to that solution. Do you it is customizable for a directory that contains scores of subdirectories, each with several Word files? pjs "Anne Troy" wrote: If you know how to do one, perhaps you can use this to do all: http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=76 ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "pjs" wrote in message ...

I thought that the entry I sent you to DOES cover subdirectories? If not,
look for the one that does (there is one) at www.vbaexpress.com/kb/kblist.php ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "pjs" wrote in message news Anne -- Thanks for pointing me to that solution.
