Hi,

I looked for a more appropriate Forum here, but couldn't find any.
Hope posting here is O.K.

Using WORD on a Mac. Mojave.

One of my file created with WORD has always worked just fine.
No Password.

Just double click on it, and it opened.

Now, i see that there is that Lock icon on it. (the files icon)
And, it now requires a Password to open !!

a. Is it fairly common for WORD to do this by itself ? Some Update quirk, or...?

b. How do I eliminate this Password requirement that seems to re-applied each time i close WORD ?

c. Likely to happen again ? Why ? Did I perhaps click on some box I shouldn't have without knowing it ?

Was lucky to guess on a very, very old password i use, and it worked.
But sure would like to make sure it doesn't happen again,

Thanks,
Bob
