How do insert a picture in a locked word document without unlock?

I am trying to insert or paste a picture into a locked word document without
unlocking it. I can unlock and paste but is there a setting that can be used
to keep it locked and paste a picture? Help!

Kat,

As has been mentioned in multiple posts related to locked (protected)
documents, document protection disables many functions in Word - sometimes
seemingly without good reason. This includes any function to do with graphics
(images, AutoShapes, WordArt, etc.), and I suspect this has to do with
graphics being carried in a different 'layer' in the document.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround or "setting" to bypass this limitation
apart from unlocking the document prior to pasting the image. This _can_ be
done programmatically, but it's been my experience that the result is
somewhat less than ideal; after the image is inserted and the document locked
again, there is no way to manipulate the image easily. In fact, you can't
even delete the image, let alone move it around, resize it, control the
wrapping, etc. I have created templates that supported inserting an image
programmically, but only within very tight constraints: an image (logo) of a
certain size inserted into a specific location and never touched again.

Sorry. Looks like you're out of luck. :-(

If a document requires such free editing, then you have to ask whether a
protected form is the best way of achieving it. A userform to gather and
place the data may make more sense - and that leaves the document capable of
regular editing. For the basics, see Word MVP FAQ - Userforms
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm

There is no other way but using a password recovery software which is claim to unlock the password protected word document.
here i recommend Word Password Recovery 5.0 -- an easy-to-use tool designed for recovering the lost Microsoft Word password. Passwords to modify are recovered in just seconds!
