THANK YOU. That worked! Much needed as I'm racing a deadline. &nbsp;(I love how Word can be so counter-intuitive. :) )<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Word document in 2013 format (DOCX). Last year, when it was a DOC file I set two passwords.<br />
1. For viewing<br />
2. For editing.<br />
<br />
I now need to remove both passwords. I was able to turn off the viewing password by going to FILE --&gt; PROTECT DOCUMENT --&gt; ENCRYPT WITH PASSWORD.<br />
<br />
However, I cannot find how to remove the editing p/w. I tried going to FILE --&gt; PROTECT DOCUMENT --&gt; RESTRICT EDITING, but there is no option that I see that can help.<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />
Thanks,<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Microsoft Word

A word processor is an electronic device or computer software application that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes printing of documents. Most modern word processors use a graphical user interface, and most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration, and HTML exporting, among others.
