Word 2000 protection

Hi All,

I have noticed a difference in the protection mechanisms of Word 2000
and Word 2003/7. In word 2003, there are 4 ways of protecting a
document...
-Filling in forms
-Tracked changes
-Comments
-Readonly

Word 2000 does not have the last option. Is there a way I can get Word
2000 to be able to open a document that was protected using Readonly?
Or must I upgrade to 2003?

Just some extra information..When I create exceptions on the document
using 2003, they are not reflected when I open it in Word 2000. The
exceptions are cancelled and I cannot edit it.

Is there anyone with the same issue?
Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
.
