    Document Passwords

    My company has decided that all communications to staff are to be in a new specified format and style - fine. But the style is a small box on a protected word template that cannot be re-sized. Our department creates and amends a lot of processes and procedures and our notifications will simply not fit in such a tiny box. And all this after 'Consultation' to which we were not even invited!!

    Now I know the guy that is running with this and I have a communication that needs to be issued next week. Of course it won't fit on his form no matter how much I edit - and anyway, it has to be understandable to the staff. We will be providing a serious amount of feedback on this issue, but here's my query.

    I can break sheet protection in Excel, but is there any code that would do the same for a Word Template? This is NOT anything illegal - it's really just a quick dash of revenge!

    No worries if the answer's no - but thought it might be worth asking anyway.

    It is certainly possible to break this kind of protection, but we do not discuss these kinds of topics at this site.

    Hi,

    The policy is the same on every site I've ever posted and its a good thing these details are not provided.

    Yes it's possible. But you'll find the answer if you look for it in google.
