Word's 2003/XP version default protection remained the same but an option that allowed advanced users to choose a Cryptographic Service Provider was added.[106] If a strong CSP is chosen, guaranteed document decryption becomes unavailable and, therefore, a password can't be removed from the document. Nonetheless, a password can be fairly quickly picked with a brute-force attack, because its speed is still high regardless of the CSP selected. Moreover, since the CSPs are not active by default, their use is limited to advanced users only.
Initial releases of Word were met with criticism. Byte in 1984 criticized the documentation for Word 1.1 and 2.0 for DOS, calling it "a complete farce". It called the software "clever, put together well and performs some extraordinary feats", but concluded that "especially when operated with the mouse, has many more limitations than benefits ... extremely frustrating to learn and operate efficiently".[107] PC Magazine's review was very mixed, stating: "I've run into weird word processors before, but this is the first time one's nearly knocked me down for the count" but acknowledging that Word's innovations were the first that caused the reviewer to consider abandoning WordStar. While the review cited an excellent WYSIWYG display, sophisticated print formatting, windows, and footnoting as merits, it criticized many small flaws, very slow performance, and "documentation produced by Madame Sadie's Pain Palace". It concluded that Word was "two releases away from potential greatness".[108]
Microsoft Word and Excel 2003 - Portable USB 11
As I reviewed my present and previous Office programs, I recalled that I had preferred the relatively austere menu of Office 2003 over the ribbon that Microsoft implemented beginning in Office 2007. The latter was more suited to mouse users, whereas I preferred to use the keyboard for my word processing to the extent possible.
A portable version would have another advantage, if it worked. As detailed below, my Office 2003 installation was complicated. Compared to running in Wine, Cameyo would have the advantage of capturing all the various tweaks and updates in a single convenient package.
At this point, I had used Cameyo to make portable versions of a number of Windows programs. As described in another post, those Cameyo packages had generally run well in Windows but not in Linux via Wine. I knew it would probably turn out that Cameyo would give me a portable version of Office 2003 that would work only in Windows. I accepted the possibility that a Windows VM would be the only place where I could run any version of MS Office on a Linux system.
Directory Opus has support from Windows Server 2003 to Windows 11. Its features are similar to Total Commander and XYplorer, including a dual-pane, tabbed interface, multiple customizations, powerful searching, support for various file types and archives, and a portable USB version.
Passwords on older versions of Word and Excel files are relatively straightforward to recover under certain conditions [42]. Word and Excel 2003 also have an option to use an RC4 stream cipher with a key length of up to 128 bits. A weakness in the implementation of the encryption module makes it possible for an adversary to compare two versions of a password-protected file to recover its plaintext contents [42,43]. In such a case password strength would not have affected the ability to extract the PHI. However, in our study we had only one version of each document and therefore our files were not vulnerable to this attack.
Instantly bypass, unlock or reset lost administrator and other account passwords on any Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, 2008, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 system, if you forgot Windows password and couldn't log into the computer.
