Office/Word
Here is an interesting situation. Somehow, some of my Word documents became
encrypted without me knowing it. I had just formatted my PC and when I restored the Word documents, I couldn't open them because they are encrypted. I had followed the procedures to decrypt them, but I cannot gain access. Is there any way around this? |

Hi Russ,
Here is an interesting situation. Somehow, some of my Word documents became encrypted without me knowing it. I had just formatted my PC and when I restored the Word documents, I couldn't open them because they are encrypted. I had followed the procedures to decrypt them, but I cannot gain access. Is there any way around this? Which version of Word? What makes you think they're encrypted? From the sound of it, I'm inclined to think the internal file structures may have been scrambled "during transmission" to your backup media...

Hello Cindy. The version of Office is 2002 (XP). How I know it is encrypted
is by the green font that is assocciated with the file name and in the properties of the file, the encrytion box is checked. For whatever reason I can't decrypt anything. I can't even email the these files. "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.0000c0b8.0130ea1b@speedy... Hi Russ, Here is an interesting situation.

This isn't something Word was responsible for, but something that's happened in your OS. Here is an interesting situation. Somehow, some of my Word documents became encrypted without me knowing it.
