So, if I patch, then I cannot bypass the password mechanisms. But if I do
not patch, then I still can... Or does a patched application allow for the
creation of a document in which the security controls cannot be bypassed
using an unpatched MS Word? Can a document from an unpatched application
still be bypassed in a patched MS Word?

It would be interesting to know the depth of patching in this situation.

Kind regards,
Carolyn
