mydiamond Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 so I wrote a short story back when I was in 8th grade and protected the file with a password. Needless to say, I forgot what's the password now x__x I need the story now so can anyone help? I browsed the net and found that "I am in luck" since I used Tools--Protect Document. They say I can just open a new document, click insert-file and insert the contents of the password-protected file to the new doc but I can't seem to find any "file" option on my "insert" bar :wacko: I'm on MSWord 2011. Help please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Can you read the text or is it a password to open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Send it to Marc anyway. He'll tinker with it and see what he can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I would just forward it to Marc and see if he can do anything with it. I have found that messing around when your not sure can end up causing more problems. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 alrighty then now since I can't figure out how to tag, I'll quote him... XD Send it me. I will remove the password for you if its in 2003 format Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 can I have your email address, Marc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I don't recall if 2003 is the same, but in 2010, you have to go to Insert, Object (little arrow for the drop box) text from file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 this is my toolbar. As you can see the "insert" only has text box, shape and picture in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 alrighty then now since I can't figure out how to tag, I'll quote him... XD can I have your email address, Marc? Its all gonna depend on the format of the file. If its 2010 you are gonna be lucky if you can get the data back, if 2003 its simple. Reason is because of the algorhythms that are used to encrypt data are a lot more complex from 2007 upwards. In any case have sent you my email address and will certainly have a go at it.
