OpenXML .docx password protection on Word2003 doesn't work!
Hi There,
We have converted a bunch of Word2003 documents to Word2007 (.docx) which worked great... however, users with Word2003 (400+ users, with compatibility pack installed) are able to
Unprotect
documents without needing to provide a password!
Even when we reapply document protection with passwords in Word2003, reopening the .docx file still allows users to
Unprotect
documents.
We have been trying to apply document protection programmatically using C#, but even doing this manually in Word2003 doesn't work!
Is this a bug? and is there a workaround?
