When I try and open a password protected .docx file with Word 2000 a
small window appears with this message in it:
__________________________________________________ ____
The document name or path is not valid.
Try these suggestions.
*Check the file permissions for this document or drive.
*Use the file open dialog box to locate the document.

Those "suggestions" don't give me much of a clue.

The same file will open OK in later versions of Word or Open Office,
after asking for and receiving the password.

Password protected .doc files created with Word 2000 will open correctly
in Word 2000.

Is there something I can do to open those password protected .docx files
in Word 2000?

Thanks guys,

Jeff

As the OP I guess I should mention that after posting here I installed a
copy or Microsoft WordView 2004 which also opens those password protected
files fine.

Jeff

Thank you.

However Word Viewer was provided in 2007 to coincide with the XML added file
formats of Office 2007.

A 2004 product could not open a DOCx as the file format had not been created
yet.
