See my reply to Matt's post (once it makes it through moderation). The other thing is we're discussing two different types of protection. The original post about this by SKP (mid: <003b01c331c8$3e992530$6f01a8c0@Laptop1> ) concerned the document protection methodology to prevent a user from editing the document see (mid: <171538318020.20030616144331 () doh state nm us>). The Tools / Options / Security / Password is to encrypt the document and is not vulnerable to the issue mentioned in the original post by SKP. Two different forms of protection. -- Leif Gregory DOH/PHD/EPI/PHEPU 2500 Cerrillos Rd.
