File Permissions Word 2003. IRM?
Hi,
I received a word doc from a customer, copied the doc & edited it. Sent it back as attachment, recipient couldn't open it (message: "check the file permissions for the doc or drive"). Since then, every attachment I send from word or not (even docs created years ago) are unopenable. However, I sent one of the failed docs to AOL and they read it to me! The original doc that caused the prob was openable by me on my system but I can no longer do so. - Kind Regards Island Light |

File Permissions Word 2003. IRM?
Hi ?B?SXNsYW5kIExpZ2h0?=,
And if you save the file to drive, then attach it to an email created outside of Word? I received a word doc from a customer, copied the doc & edited it. Sent it back as attachment, recipient couldn't open it (message: "check the file permissions for the doc or drive"). Since then, every attachment I send from word or not (even docs created years ago) are unopenable. However, I sent one of the failed docs to AOL and they read it to me! The original doc that caused the prob was openable by me on my system but I can no longer do so.

Hi ?B?SXNsYW5kIExpZ2h0?=,
Sent the doc to myself err message. "permission for this document is currently restricted. If you are not running Microsoft Office 2003 or an application that supports documents with restricted permission, you can read this document by downloading the Rights Management Add-on for internet explorer. Download the Rights Management Add-on for Internet Explorer Learn more about documents with reatricted permission -- This means that IRM protection is being activated for these documents. Although I wouldn't expect this to be active by default. Indeed, IRM isn't something you can just use "out of the box". If AOL was able to open and read it to you, and you aren't able to open such a document that you've sent to yourself, then something seriously strange is going on. The author of an IRM document should always be able to open his own document. If AOL has permission, then it sounds as if AOL is somehow involved in the problem. When you create a document in Word 2003, look under File/Permission. Is "Unrestricted Access" checked? What happens if you choose "Restrict Permission As..."? And if you save the file to drive, then attach it to an email created outside of Word? I received a word doc from a customer, copied the doc & edited it. Sent it back as attachment, recipient couldn't open it (message: "check the file permissions for the doc or drive").

File Permissions Word 2003. IRM?
Cindy,
Thank you so much for the help and advice. I have finally sorted out the problem You were correct. The problem with recipients opening my word (or any other) attachments lay wholly with AOL. AOL are so poor they couldn't fix the problem - still haven't - It was only when I opened a new email account with Yahoo that the problems ceased; every attachment I send is openable without a problem. The moral of the story... BEWARE OF AOL! Kind Regards island light. -- Kind Regards Island Light "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?SXNsYW5kIExpZ2h0?=, Sent the doc to myself err message.
