Password protect question
I instituted password protection on a document in Word 2003. But when I go
to open that document it does not ask for the password. Is password protection meant just for other users on this computer or other computers? Why not everytime the document is opened by anyone? -- Dave A |

Password protect question
If you have added a password, then you have added it for everyone including
yourself. It seems you have not added a password as you imagined. File Save As Tools Security - put a password in the Password to open dialog. Click 'Advanced' and set a stronger encryption than the default. Then click OK (NOT PROTECT DOCUMENT). Re-enter the password in the confirm password box that will pop up and click OK. Then save and close and re-open the document. You will get a prompt to enter the password. Don't forget the password! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dave A wrote: I instituted password protection on a document in Word 2003.
