Hi Daisy:
Nice article :-) Yes, we knew where it was. The bug is that it doesn't
"work" :-)
If you get a do***ent from a different version of Word, with "any"
sections
protected, the entire do***ent will be unwritable in Word 2008. That's
the
bug.
The only work-around we have found so far is to send the do***ent to a PC
version of Word and use that to release the protection.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Cheers
