Document Templates w/password

[Fruber Malcome]

Is there a way to open a document as a template - that has a password.

For example:
If I open this file using the _thisApplication.Documents.Add() - it does
exactly what I want - but it prompts me for a password, I would like to
supply this behind the scenes.

If I open this file using the _thisApplication.Documents.Open() - it opens
the file without prompting for the password (since I was able to provide
it) - but it doesn't open it as a new document.

I tried:
Word.WdOpenFormat.wdOpenFormatTemplate


but that didn't open it as a new document.

Any ideas?

thanks - Fruber

Hi Fruber,

Is there a way to open a document as a template - that has a password.

No, unfortunately. We've been asking for that (parameter for a password) for
years.

Closest might be to open the document, then use SaveAs immediately, so that
you essentially have a "new" document.

For example:
If I open this file using the _thisApplication.Documents.Add() - it does
exactly what I want - but it prompts me for a password, I would like to
supply this behind the scenes.

If I open this file using the _thisApplication.Documents.Open() - it opens
the file without prompting for the password (since I was able to provide
it) - but it doesn't open it as a new document.

I tried:
Word.WdOpenFormat.wdOpenFormatTemplate
