RE: MS Word - password protection vulnerabilty

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
