Let me add to Shaw's response.

What this means is that you are trying to read a Word document that is
password protected. That functionality is not in the 0.7.5 build of
AbiWord, but Caolan has added this in the past week.

If you are uncomfortable recompiling to get a copy of AbiWord with the bits
still warm, wait for 0.7.6, which should read the Word document in
question. 0.7.6 will be out sometime the first part of October, give or
take how much other feature refinement such as this goes on.
