Word password protection doesn't work
I've protected files in the past, but today when I tried it didn't work. I
put the password in under the options/security tab and everything seemed normal, but then I checked by saving and then opening the file again and I wasn't prompted for the password, the file just opened. I have all of the current updates. |

Word password protection doesn't work
Hi ?B?QnJpYW4=?=,
I've protected files in the past, but today when I tried it didn't work. I put the password in under the options/security tab and everything seemed normal, but then I checked by saving and then opening the file again and I wasn't prompted for the password, the file just opened. I have all of the current updates. And you're saving as a Word document (*.doc) and not to the old Word 6, RTF or any other file format? If you create a new document and test with that, does it work for the new document?

Word password protection doesn't work
Yes, I'm saving it as a .doc document. The new file protection worked fine.
Thanks for your help. "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?QnJpYW4=?=, I've protected files in the past, but today when I tried it didn't work.
