Passwords

I was wondering if it was possible to have a password to modify on an
original document and then when you do a save as when you go back into
it, it wont ask you for the password again.
For example, we have an absentee report we fill out for employees. It
is protected by a password so i went into read only and filled out the
correct information, then i did a save as in another folder. When I
went back into it, it asked for the password or read only so when I hit
read only all the information is there but I didn't know if there was a
way to not have it ask for a password after you save it as a different
document.

In other words, on the original document I want a password and all the
other documents i have from that form to not have a password.
I hope someone knows what I am talkin about.

Thank you

Hi Heather,

It sounds like you are talking about a template. :-)

Instead of attempting to reuse a document, save the document as a
Document Template. Then when you need to fill out a new form use
File/New and create a new document based on your template.

The original template will be protected and you could incorporate a
password on the template without it cascading to other documents.
