    CD-PMO is a dept that created the document's template. For several weeks now
    I have used the template without problem. Then moving the files from my
    desktop mc thu the network to a server, then moving the files from the
    server to my laptop caused the problem. It's just inconvenient because I
    can overcome the password block quite easily (withoiut knowing the pw).
