 -->> DESCRIPTION
 #######################
 (*
 
 An example of GUI scripting to save a Word.doc as a PDF with security option 'Require password to copy text, images and other content' set to 'ON'. A default password of '123456' is set in the VARIABLES section below.
 
 This script was tested on macOS 10.12.6 (‘Sierra’) using Word for Mac 2011. The mac's default language was English.
 Due to the requirements of GUI scripting, it is highly likely to fail if run in a different environment.

 #######################
 -->> USAGE
 #######################
 (*
 
 Change the password in the VARIABLES section below to something else.
 Open a Word document and run the script.
 Note the script runs on the frontmost document.
 It does not save or close the Word document itself.
