Meaning of Permission(unrestricted access) in Word 2003
I notice I have anicon on my task bar which appears to be a page and at
bottom right corner of this page there is a round squatty ring which says- Permission (unrestricted access) . What does this mean or is it a hacker trying to get into my computer. If so how do I delete it. What is its purpose I am working in Word 2003 |

It is part of Word. Click on the button and read the message box you get. I
believe the button is used in combination with the Tools | Protect Document command. -- Suzanne S.

From secretofkings
Thank you Suzanne for your reply. I went into Word and read it and it asked me to download a new version. When I did the download it said "The windows Rights Management Client was downloaded to Service Pack 2. I now have Service Pack 3 so was my download successful or do I have to do it again "Suzanne S.

My guess is that if you don't know what this is for, you don't have the
software in place to use it. It's something intended for big corporations with SharePoint servers, I believe. -- Suzanne S.

Meaning of Permission(unrestricted access) in Word 2003
Dear Suzanne
Thanks I appreciate your reply. As you say I don't understand what the icon is about and I am not in a big corporation so I really don't think I would use it. Is it a matter of just deleting it or do I have to go into the EXE file or the Programme file and delete it. Or would a simpler thing be just to ignore it. Is it something that when I send out a file it can be in read only form and not be changed? I look forward to your reply. secretsofkings "Suzanne S.

Meaning of Permission(unrestricted access) in Word 2003
You can ignore it, or, if you need space on the toolbar for other things,
press Alt and drag the button off. There are various kinds of protection that can be applied to documents; I'm not sure what sort this button applies. -- Suzanne S.

Dear Suzanne
THank you very much for all your help with my query it has been very much appreciated. This is my first time for asking a question and it has amazed me that people like yourself have been so kind and answered my question in "plain English" for me to understand. No more tearing my hair out. I will do as you suggest just use Alt and drag it off the toolbar. I had asked 4 highly paid technicians and they didn't know what I was talking about. Once again thank you secretsofkings "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can ignore it, or, if you need space on the toolbar for other things, press Alt and drag the button off.
