I have a Word document that has a password to modify setup; however, when I open the document it does not prompt me for this password. When I open the document and go to Tools, Options, Save and it has asterisk marks in the text box under Password to Modify – so it appears to be setup but I am not getting prompted when I open the document.
I have read in Microsoft’s Knowledge Base that if you change the format of a document, this password is lost; however, when I did this on a test document – the Password to Modify was completely removed – in other words the asterisk marks were gone from under Password to Modify; so I have been unable to recreate the problem.
Now having said this I should also point out that the document is stored in a document management system called iManage. When documents are opened they are stored on our c: drive while we are working on them and then when we close they are returned to the DMS. I did create a test document in iManage and it did honour the Password to Modify. In other words, it did prompt for a password to modify when I opened the document.
I would like to know if this is a known Microsoft Word problem or if I should be contacting iManage.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
