IRM failure

[rina]

Hi,

Today Office 2003 refuses to print anything.
Instead there appears an IRM dialog, which doesn't explain anything, except
that because of MS Office new IRM feature I'm not allowed to print this
document. While all the documents are the ones I have created earlier
myself...

Obviously, how do I can get rid of this IRM feature???

Thanks

Hi,

Oh no, another bug apparently.

I have tried to figure out what's wrong -
but I don't have any IRM services or clients installed, so there is not much
to uninstall either.

I do not know what is the way of Information Rights Management you have
installed in your Office 2003. You may want to start by looking in Office
Help for Information Rights Management. Also, a search of the Microsoft
Knowledge Base will return a number of articles on the subject. Here is a
start:

{Just a start, this specific article may not apply to your problem}.

In my copy of Word 2003, the Permission icon is located next to the print
icon so it is possible to click on the wrong one.

Thanks for your reply. I searched the MS, KB and Office site, but no help.
No IRM component has been intentionally installed.
I just used the MS "favourite tool", reinstalling Office to get rid of this
bug for a while.
