Opening older version password protected documents with Word
I have serveral old documents created by earlier versions of Word and even
WordPerfect documents that were converted to Word. I don't recall having problems with conversions in prior updates, but when I installed Office 2003 a couple of years ago, suddenly I cannot open some of these documents. I receive the error message "cannot convert a passwork protected document". Is the only solution to reinstall Word '97 which I think was the version I used prior to the update? |
