By the way, once you have that macro code, you could run it using VBS while each doc is open.<br />

I am not familiar with scripting, but I did find a program that does a batch of the docs for you and also is very customizable. &nbsp;It is called Workshare Protect <a href="http://workshare.com/products/wsprotect/protect_family.aspx" rel="ugc">http://workshare.com/products/wsprotect/protect_family.aspx</a>&nbsp;. <br />

Thanks for your responses.<br />

I want to use Microsoft's Remove Hidden Data tool on hundreds of Office files. &nbsp;I can use the command line to do several of them at a time instead of opening them one by one. &nbsp;After this is done, the documents all have the &quot;Read-only recommended&quot; option selected under Tools &gt;&nbsp;Security. I want a way to either prevent this setting change or a way to change this setting back on several files at once instead of having to open each one at a time and change it manually?

Changing Read-only recommended setting on several files at once

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
