    Can't copy a password protected Word file


    I'm just trying to copy my Word document files to a backup thumb drive. Windows is not allowing me to copy/paste presumably because many of the files are password protected. How can I do my backup without removing the password protection from each file?

    :)

    Password Protected Word Files

    My Nokia Lumia 510 with Windows 7 will not allow me to open my OneDrive Password Protected Word files. It always gives me the message “Password-protected files can’t be opened”.



    I really prefer to have all my files password protected so in order to resolve this I am considering purchasing a Lumia 630 which has Windows 8.1. Obviously I don’t want to waste money buying this model if I still can’t open my OneDrive Word files. Is anyone
    able to tell me whether this will resolve the problem or alternatively suggest which model I should purchase? Many thanks. Suzie

    How to password protect a Word file.

    Hi williebird848

    Do you want to password protect a specific Word file or the actual Word application itself, your question indicated a word-file . . .

    Can't copy a password protected Word file

    Password to many word files....

    My best guess would be try and see if the program you're using allows batch password protection of .doc files. If the program itself does not support it, there's probably plenty of alternatives programs that could. Axcrypt comes to mind. It's almost like truecrypt, but it only works on files instead of making a container.
