EncryptA
Security and Signatures
Description
The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to Encrypt and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page
This function adds the specified security settings to the selected document
The actual encryption of the document is delayed until the document is saved so this function can be called at any time, even before further content is added to the document
