I don't completely understand the situation.

1. HOW has the password protection been applied. Through Tools/OPtions/Save?
Using Tools/Protect Document? Something else?

2. It's not clear what you want to do when you open the documents based on the
protected template.

Cindy Thanks for Reply:

This is the deal:
The style template its bounded to the doc1, doc2 doc3 & doc4 with the
purpose of updating styles only
But the Style Template is ReadOnly Password Proctected, When I run the code
which loops in four documents, Open the document as read only, but because
there is a Attached template it gets the ReadOnly Dialog, we need the Read
Only Dialog in Place, how can I attached the template as read only to the
document?

TemplName = "C:StyleTemplate.dot"
arrDocPaths = Array Of Four Doucment Paths & Names
intSubDocumentCount = 4
For cntSubDocs = 1 To intSubDocumentCount
Set objTempDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=arrDocPaths(cntSubDocs),
Visible:=False, ReadOnly:=True)
objTempDoc.Content.Copy
Selection.Paste
objTempDoc.Close False
Next

Can I run the following line as read only?
objTempDoc.AttachedTemplate= TemplName

Thanks

I'm afraid there's no way to get Word to understand what you want it to do. As
far as Word is concerned, if it's read-only, it's read-only. There's no way to
attach the template in that condition and avoid the dialog.

What you might need to do, instead, is to execute a macro when such a document
opens that either removes all the styles, then recreates the ones you need or
copies them across from a source file using OrganizerCopy.
