Word 2003, Windows XP Professional
I know my Passwords for Opening and Modifying.
I (thought I) removed password protection earlier.
When I attempt to open a file now I must use the known Passwords. Good so
far.
When I go to remove the protection I see no asterisks for "assword to open"
or "Password to modify" and read-only recommended is not checked.

Why must I use "Open" and "Modify" passwords.

I want to create Adobe .pdf files and it's much easier if I remove the word
protection first.
