How to open password protected Word documents?

I have the iPad2 and tried to use Dropbox for a WORD document. However, I discovered that a password protected document cannot open through it. I know Dropbox has a password, too, but I find it to be too simple and this document is sensitive. Dropbox.com confirmed that I could not open a password protected document using that App.

My question is whether there is ANY way to open a WORD document that is password protected on an iPad2?

Dell PC, Windows Vista

Someone asked the same question a number of weeks ago, and those who responded said they were unable to open a password protected Word file using the few apps that do handle Word files. There was no solution at the time. You might try doing a search in the forum - you may have better luck finding a thread where a positive solution was given.

Docs To Go allowed me to open a MS Word file I have protected.
