DocumentProtectedError

paper-docx 0.2.0 API reference

The document enforces an editing restriction this operation ignores.

Word honors w:documentProtection (read-only, forms-only, comments-only, tracked-changes-enforced); silently editing a locked template reports false state. Protection is ADVISORY, not security — after reviewing why the document is locked, call docx.protection.acknowledge_protection(document) to proceed. paper-docx never strips the protection setting itself.
