Hi
Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Words.

  1. You can open existing document using Aspose.Words. See the following code.
    Dim doc As Document = New Document(“in.doc”)
    Also see the following link.
    https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/create-or-load-a-document/
  2. You can protect/unprotect document using Aspose.Words. See the following links for more information.
    https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/protect-or-encrypt-a-document/

  3. I think that this task you should achieve in some application logic.
    Please feel free to ask if you have any question about using Aspose.Words. I will be happy to help you.

Thanx for your response I am very interested in purchasing but I can only do so if I can get the word under the mouse in a formated MSWord doc

  1. without selecting it
  2. the doc is locked
    I was told the following vb dot net code can get the character under the mouse in a text box
    Private Sub txtTestText_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles txtTestText.MouseMove

txtCurrentValue.Text = txtTestText.GetCharFromPosition(e.Location)

End Sub
can I do this using yor words component

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. Aspose.Words is not visual component. But maybe you can achieve this using Aspose.Editor. See the following link for more information.
