I'm developing an add-in using the Word JavaScript API, and I need the ability to work with protected Word documents programmatically. In VBA and VSTO, I was able to unprotect these documents, alter ...
Sure Yun_Wang. The use case we have here is that we're dealing with a legal document that has protected content sections.

In the legacy system there was some VBA that would do this for them. I've seen some other parts of the code that also needed to unprotect the document for other reasons, though I haven't tracked down all the use cases there yet.
