Good one, you are probably right...
I thought the poster knew how to unlock, but that somehow it was not
working! This is why I was confused as to what was exactly happening!


It's just a guess, I'm still not sure, but it was based on a LOT of
confusion around the Protect Document command. :-)

I think the confusion lies in how MS chose to add IRM to the Protect
Document button. Combine that with the fact that the Protect Document button
works differently depending on the Office Suite you have installed. So those
who aren't using Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, Microsoft Office 2007
Enterprise, or Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus, can just click
Protect Document and the task pane will display and not realize there is a
difference if using another suite. The problem with simply adding another
button for IRM was...????

(I've been tempted to start compiling questions like this and sending them
to the parties who helped make the decision. g)
