Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Sets the options Microsoft Office Word uses for encrypting documents with passwords.

public void SetPasswordEncryptionOptions (string passwordEncryptionProvider, string passwordEncryptionAlgorithm, int passwordEncryptionKeyLength, ref object passwordEncryptionFileProperties);

member this.SetPasswordEncryptionOptions : string * string * int * obj -> unit

Public Sub SetPasswordEncryptionOptions (passwordEncryptionProvider As String, passwordEncryptionAlgorithm As String, passwordEncryptionKeyLength As Integer, Optional ByRef passwordEncryptionFileProperties As Object)

Parameters

passwordEncryptionProvider: String

The name of the encryption provider.

passwordEncryptionAlgorithm: String

The name of the encryption algorithm. Word supports stream-encrypted algorithms.

passwordEncryptionKeyLength: Int32

The encryption key length. Must be a multiple of 8, starting at 40.

passwordEncryptionFileProperties: Object

true for Word to encrypt file properties. Default is true.

Examples

The following code example uses the SetPasswordEncryptionOptions method to use the RC4 encryption algorithm. The code specifies a key length of 56, enables file property encryption, and sets the name of the encryption provider to the string "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider". To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

private void DocumentSetPasswordEncryptionOptions()
{
    object PasswordEncryptionFileProperties = true;

    this.SetPasswordEncryptionOptions(
        "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider",
        "RC4", 56, ref PasswordEncryptionFileProperties);
}

Private Sub DocumentSetPasswordEncryptionOptions()

    Me.SetPasswordEncryptionOptions( _
        "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider", _
        "RC4", 56, True)
End Sub

Remarks

For enhanced security, do not use Weak Encryption (XOR) (also called "OfficeXor") or "Office97/2000 Compatible" (also called "OfficeStandard") algorithms.
