I purchased a new i-mac and had all my Microsoft Office Word and Excel files copied over. Several of them are password protected. The Mac won't open them--gives me a message that "File is encrypted and cannot be opened". Can you offer a solution?

Hi,
Congrats on the iMac. Not sure if you ever got your answer but you cannot open a password Excel file in Numbers and vice versa. It is unfortunate but you will need to use MS Office to open those files or maybe a product on open source in the interim.
Good luck!
