It can be downloaded directly from this link on the Microsoft website. In this case, we can use a tool called DocRecrypt that is compatible with certain versions of Word.
#TOOL TO LINK DOCUMENTS IN WORD PASSWORD#
It may be the case that over time we have forgotten the password that we entered at the time to lock a file. Once this is done, a pop-up window will appear where we must enter the correct password so that the file is unlocked. Now at the bottom, we click on the “Pause protection” button. Later on the “Protect” and “Restrict edition” button. To do this, with the document open, click on the “Review” tab. The most common method that we will use to unlock a protected file will be using the password that we entered at the time as a protection request. For this we will need the password that we have applied as protection, changing the file format or trying to use the DocRecrypt application. When the time comes, it may be useful for us to be able to unlock a Word document that we had previously locked so that it could not be edited. Click “Read” or “Change” to give them read or write access and click “OK” to save the changes. Later we will add the email addresses of the users to whom we want to give access to the document. In the new menu we click on “Protect document”, then on “Restrict access” and “Restricted access”, where we must enable the “Restrict permission to this document” check box. In this case we must open the Word document and click on the “File” tab and then on “Information”.
#TOOL TO LINK DOCUMENTS IN WORD WINDOWS#
This is only available for those users with a Windows domain, such as university or corporate users. Windows relies on Rights Management Service (RMS) to help unauthorized users read, edit, or print certain documents. In this way, only users with access to the file will be able to make changes to the restrictions that we have established. This will open a new window where we must enter a password to prevent anyone from changing these restrictions and click OK to save. To confirm the restrictions, it will be necessary to click on the “Yes, apply the protection” button that we find in the “Start applying” section.
