Just got Windows 7 running in Parallels on my iMac. This post is being written using the Windows Live Essentials download of goodies from Microsoft.

Windows 7 seems pretty good if Aero is running, but for some reason it is getting disabled at every boot. Annoying.

Seems to work fine. Kudos Microsoft!

First paste the following into the Script Editor and save it to the Word Scripts folder in your Office 2008 identity:

tell application "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"
	tell selection
		try
			set theClip to Unicode text of (the clipboard as record)
			type text text theClip
		end try
	end tell
end tell

Then use System Preferences to set a keyboard command for the resulting script menu item. A kludge, but seems to work. I found this here.

If you are using office XP or 2003, you can change the view to HTML-Code using Microsoft Script-Editor by pressing the [Alt]+[Shift]+[F11] key combination.

Search for “Password” and you will find somethimg like this:
ReadOnly
19E8E61E

To remove the protection:
-Just remowe those two lines, and after saving the document , the protection is gone.

To remove the password:
-replace the Password, here “19E8E61E”, with “00000000″, save the Document and close “Script-Editor”.

Alternative you can save your document as .html and use a html-Editor.
