Hi,

I’m trying to implement a method for saving a document with a password.
I don’t want to let the end user to open the document as readonly.

I’ve found that I can do:

DocSaveOptions SaveOpt = new DocSaveOptions();
SaveOpt.Password="MyPassword";
Document.Save(OutputPath, SaveOpt);

So, I thing this is the right way to do it for “doc” documents.
What about the “docx” and “docm” file? Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
Devid
