expression .SetPasswordEncryptionOptions(PasswordEncryptionProvider, PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm, PasswordEncryptionKeyLength, PasswordEncryptionFileProperties)

expression Required. A variable that represents a Document object.

Parameters

Name

Required/Optional

Data Type

Description

PasswordEncryptionProvider

Required

String

The name of the encryption provider.

PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm

Required

String

The name of the encryption algorithm. Word supports stream-encrypted algorithms.

PasswordEncryptionKeyLength

Required

Long

The encryption key length. Must be a multiple of 8, starting at 40.

PasswordEncryptionFileProperties

Optional

Variant

True for Word to encrypt file properties. Default is True.

For enhanced security, do not use Weak Encryption (XOR) (also called "OfficeXor") or "Office97/2000 Compatible" (also called "OfficeStandard") algorithms.

This example sets the password encryption to a stronger encryption if the password encryption algorithm in use is "OfficeXor" or "OfficeStandard."

VBA
Copy 
Sub PasswordSettings() 
 With ActiveDocument 
 If .PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm = "OfficeXor" Or _ 
 .PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm = "OfficeStandard" Then 
 
 .SetPasswordEncryptionOptions _ 
 PasswordEncryptionProvider:="Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider", _ 
 PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm:="RC4", _ 
 PasswordEncryptionKeyLength:=56, _ 
 PasswordEncryptionFileProperties:=True 
 
 End If 
 End With 
End Sub
