MORE INFORMATION
================
In Word 97, when you save a document with a password in a different format, such
as "Rich Text Format (*.rtf)," the following message is displayed:
This document is password protected. Saving this document in a format other
than the current version of Word will result in the loss of this protection.
When you save a document in a format other than "Word Document (*.doc)" with the
Read-only Recommended option selected, Word does not display a similar message,
and the Read-only Recommended option is not saved.
When you use the Read-only Recommended option with Word documents, you are
prompted to open the document as read-only the next time you open it. If you
open it as read-only and make changes, you are prompted to save the document
under a new file name.
To set the Read-only Recommended option:
1. On the File menu, click Save (if the file has not previously been saved).
-or-
On the File menu, click Save As.
2. Click Options.
