If I create a doc in Word XP (2002) and set a password on it, change the extension to hmtl and open it in a text editor or word, it just comes up with gibberish ... it doesn't come back up in plain text .... because of the password? I couldn't see the actual document
I may be wrong, but if memory serves me right I think the contents gets encrypted when you set a password on such a document. hth Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
