Hi - I am a new user to 7-Zip - I have downloaded the software and extracted the relevant files - I can access the relevant files but when I load the file in Word it looks like the data is still encrypted?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Open 7-Zip and navigate to the location of the encrypted file.
Right-click on the file and select "7-Zip > Decrypt" from the context menu.
Enter the password for the encrypted file when prompted and click "OK."
7-Zip will begin the decryption process and display a progress bar.
Once the decryption is complete, you will be able to access the decrypted file as normal.
Note: If you do not know the password for the encrypted file, you will not be able to decrypt it. You will need to obtain the correct password from the person who encrypted the file.

You can read files that are encrypted in one possible way.
