Talk:Microsoft Office password protection

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Italic text== This is not a user manual ==

The types section references guides how to apply various types of protection in Microsoft Office rather than referencing how the various types of protection are implemented. I am sure Wikipeida is meant to be an encyclopedia and not a user manual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.122.112 (talk) 14:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Wikipedia articles may freely cite reliable manuals as references. The section itself does not read like a manual or how-to. So, there is nothing to fix. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 09:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This articles, as well as numerous references to this article from others, seem to be used a coatrack to advertise a number of "password recovery websites" of dubious origin. —Ruud 22:57, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Large parts not specific enough, reads like an introduction to IT security

[edit]

Large parts of this section read like you're explaining office people what IT security is and in particular how password protection works. E.g. the section where the different types of attacks are introduced is almost entirely not specific to MS Office. Sounds like an instance of "This is not a manual." --Sschuldenzucker (talk) 09:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
