Attn: MS Word buffs by TheCatMan 2005-07-24 07:11:02
Is there a simple way to bypass the "password to open" in a Word file? A friend's been given a protected copy of his own CV along with a password that doesn't work, so we're looking for a way to get into it. Between us we have a recent version of MS Word (2003 I think) running on XP, and a full installation of Mandrake 10.1. Happy to install/run new software as long the source is "reliable."

Thanks in advance
