@ work we have a lot of files saved in word which are read only
what i wanted to know is there anything which you can use to reveal the password found this on the net
Make a backup copy of the document. that way if it gets all corrupted you still have the original you can read.
Change the document to view it in HTML code. You can do this by pressing the ALT+SHIFT+F11 keys together
Hit the F3 key and search for the word "password" (without quotes)
You should find something like this:
<w
ocumentProtection>ReadOnly</wocumentProtection>
<w:UnprotectPassword>1602952A</w:UnprotectPassword>
Delete these two lines
Save the document
Close the HTML editor and the word document
When you next open the document the password should be off. if not you have one more step.
Go to Tools ?> Unprotect Document
but i would like to know the how to find the password
thz for looking and any help would be appreciated
