Open a protected Word template

Hi, I have an Excel macro which opens a Word template and fills in fields from the Excel data.

The code I have used to open the template is as follows:

VBA Code:
' open custom Template
 Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(Template:="G:\filepath\Coordination.docx")

It took me a long time to successfully find a way to open/add data, so I would like to preserve this method if possible. It is also working well.

Now I would like to protect the Word document as it is getting corrupted by having multiple users. I tried to add a password but was not successful with the following:

VBA Code:
' open custom Template
 Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(Template:="G:\filepath\Coordination.docx", PassowrdDocument:="password")

Any advice on how to automate the password entry when opening the Word doc?

Many thanks!

Paul
