you can password protect word files but i dunno if its only in later versions like XP
SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

you can add a password to your word file by going to save as > the tools menu on the right side and going to options then general options then down near the button.

hope that helps.

edit: to slow :(

Yeah. My friend has some program which can crack all office passwords. I don't know what it is exactly but it sounds dogdy.
