Default encryption level
Hi,
Is there any way I can set a default so that when I want to encrypt a document I don't have to go into the advanced area and choose a strong encryption algorithm? Thanks |

Default encryption level
You could add the following lines to an autonew macro in the normal
template, which will set the encryption level for all new documents e.g. With ActiveDocument .SetPasswordEncryptionOptions PasswordEncryptionProvider:= _ "Microsoft Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider", _ PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm:="RC4", PasswordEncryptionKeyLength:=128, _ PasswordEncryptionFileProperties:=True End With -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Art wrote: Hi, Is there any way I can set a default so that when I want to encrypt a document I don't have to go into the advanced area and choose a strong encryption algorithm?

You don't say what version of Word you are using, but the Advanced dialog is
only in 2002 and 2003. You can set the default encryption method for either of these in the registry. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/or...403111033.aspx for more details. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Art" wrote in message ...

Graham,
Thanks -- I didn't know I could do that! I'm probably going to look at Tony's suggestion first, but may wind up using yours.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at the link and see how it works out for me.

Tony,
I tried the registry change and it appears to have worked perfectly. I did have to add a number of nodes that weren't there, but it worked. Thanks very much.
