Setting read-only attribute on many, many docs

[Weijia Ni]

Try this:
choose the folder and right click, open "properties"
click on "Read-only"
click "apply"
in the next window, click "Apply changes to this folder,
subfolders and files"
click "Ok"
Click "Ok" again on the "Properties" window

It works for me.

For that suggestion to work you must be able to set the file access rights
through the network or operating system, otherwise what's to stop the users
changing them back again

You could use the batch processing technique at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm to apply a password.

With ActiveDocument
.ReadOnlyRecommended = True
.Password = ""
.WritePassword = "password"
End With
