Regarding password protection for Word docs, Jonathan wrote:

Hmmm... So why does Word give us password protection that offers no
protection?!

I'm so cautious that I apply security settings to PDF documents (in
Adobe Acrobat Professional, it's under "Secure ... Show Security
Settings for this Document"). How effective is this password protection?
Any way to get around it too?
