I downloaded the Disaster Recovery Plan Templatee and wanted to copy some of the information (mainly the tables and checklists); however, there is a security feature that I cannot get past without a password. 1. This is a free download and I wonder if copying the material is permissible? 2. If it is okay, what is the needed password?

Are you seeing this in the Word .DOC version, or the Adobe .PDF version?
I was able to copy from the .DOC and paste into another one with no problems.
For the .PDF, you would need a full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just the free Reader version) to copy/paste from it.

I thought that I had most of the TR downloads.

I downloaded the Disaster Recovery Plan Template and opened both the .DOC and the .PDF file.

I had no problem copying text from the PDF and tables from the DOC file.

Which version of Word are you using?

I'm using an older version that does not have digital rights management. That may be the difference.

I viewed the PDF in Adobe Reader 6. I was only able to copy text and not the actual table structure in Reader.

I was also able to open the DOC in Open Office and Word Perfect 10 and copy and paste as desired with no problems.
