Default de-crypting a word document in Office 2007

oI've encrypted a word document (requiring the password to open it) and would
now like to remove the protection.

I can't see to find any help to do this.

Any help would be great.

Open the document, using the password. Click Office button Save As. In the
dialog, click the Tools button and General Options (the same steps as you used
to create the password), delete the contents of the password box, click OK, and
proceed to save the document with the same name.

Thanks Jay.

I thought the Tools options etc was part of the Save As drop down area. You
have to do a Save as, then tools in the bottom left....
Many thanks.
