Default Unexpected Prompts for Password - SOLVED

Save the document as RTF close it and then re-open it in Word. Save as Word
Document.
If that doesn't fix it, open the RTF in WordPad, save it again and then open
it in Word.

This was caused by having a specific .doc style sheet password
protected (in a group setting I didn't want this .doc distrubed)
attached to the documents. I removed the .doc protection and my
problems went away.

On some documents I had protected with open and modify passwords now
that I have removed them I can not get rid of Password Box for open
password. If I hit enter or OK I go on into the document. How do I
get rid of this Password Box.
