Remarks

The EnableTrustedBrowser property, when True, allows a user who tries to open a Office Word 2003 document with restricted permissions, for example, but who does not have the Office Word 2003 application installed, to view the document in Microsoft Internet Explorer or another browser that supports this functionality. This property corresponds to the checkbox Allow users with earlier versions of Office to read with browsers supporting Information Rights Management. (Increases file size.) in the user interface.
