annoying thing
you need to edit a word document for
work or any other reason
but only to find the editing is
restricted and you are locked outside of
the door
but you really need to make some edits
so you try to enter the password
which is not easy to guess right of
course after failing too many times
you completely have no idea what to do
so
is there really no way out definitely
not
today in this video i will offer you
some remedies
want to check out what they are exactly

method 1 renaming file extension
[Music]
step one rename the extension from dot
dot x
to dot zip and click yes to confirm the
alteration
step two now open the zip file
with windows explorer step 3
click on the word folder and find the
file named
settings.xml and delete it from the list
after that change the file extension
back to
docx and you should now be able to edit
the word file
however there exists some limitations
for example this method is not
applicable to all versions of word
it works for my word 2019 but not for my
friends word
2016. method 2
saving the word document as rtf text
step 1 open your restricted word
document
click on file save as in the new save as
window
choose star dot rtf as the file type
step two close your original work
document and the new
star.rtf file then open the rtf file
with notepad
step 3 press ctrl plus
f at the same time find
password hash in the text and replace
with
no password step 4
save your operation and close the
notepad open the rtf file again
with your word program step 5
go to review restrict editing
stop protection uncheck all the boxes on
the right panel
done the editing restriction on your
word has been removed successfully now
but as you can see this method requires
too many steps
and a minor slip would give birth to a
total failure
now we have talked about two methods
renaming file extension
and saving the word document as rtf text
however it's disappointing that neither
of them is time saving or
easy to operate enough to solve our
problem but don't worry

out of trouble effectively
