Programmatically remove passwords

[Andrew Webb]

Hi,

One of mour guys has produced hundreds of Word documents, all with the same
'read only' password. He now wants to remove the read only passwords. He
knows what the passwords are. Is there any way to programmatically remove
them given the password ?

Cheers

Andrew

G'day "Andrew Webb" <[email protected]>,

Yar, www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/index.html points to some tricky VBA to
mas sprocess documents by batch. Whack the password in the open
statement, and then do a Document.SaveAs and then .Close as your
processing pass.
