Losing Password Protection

R

Rudy Kohut

I work at home using Word 2004 (V11.1). I password protect my files using
"Tools/Protect document..." and send them by email to my workplace, which
uses Word XP on Windows 2000 OS. The files open without requiring entry of
the password. This is not good!

I have checked the originals here and confirm the documents are protected
before I send them.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to rectify this?

Thanks

DUH - I'm embarrassed! I used the wrong "protection" scheme - should have
looked under the "Security" tab in preferences. Sigh.

I remember that in the Windows versions the "Tools/Options..." command
brings up the Preferences and hence the Security tab. I guess I forgot that
the Mac version has it in a different menu location and used the Protect
document" command instead. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!
