Are you an expert at Microsoft word?

Here's how to password protect a document:

Once you have completed your document there are only a few simple steps required to protect it. First left-click on the "Tools" menu and then select "Options" from the drop down menu.

On the "Options" screen that appears you must left-click on the 'Security' tab to display the window shown below.

Once you have clicked on the 'Security Tab' you must enter a password in the 'Password to Open:' box. Doing this prevents anyone from being able to open the document without the password you assign.

Remember to use a unique password that will not be easy for someone else to figure out.

Click on OK once you have chosen a password. The window shown below will appear asking you to verify the password you entered.

Once you have done this save the document as you normally would and forward it as usual.

If you require assistance with attaching the document to an email message refer to 'Attaching Password Protected Files to Email Messages'

Hope it all helps!

Require a password to open a document

When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the password-protected document. Learn about using passwords.

Open the document.

On the File menu, click Save As.

On the Tools menu in the Save As dialog box, click General Options.

In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.

In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK.

Click Save.

Go to Tools Menu > Options

Select the Save tab in the window and there are two options

File Sharing options for "<file Name>"

1. Password to open

2, Password to modify

Select any one and save the document

On the File menu, click Save As.

On the Tools menu, click General Options.

In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.

Passwords are case sensitive. Type the password exactly as you want users to enter it, including uppercase and lowercase letters.

In the Reenter password to proceed box, type the password again, and then click OK.

Click Save.

If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook with the open workbook

Open the file.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Security.

Do one of the following

1. Create a password to open

In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.

In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK.

2. Create a password to modify

In the Password to modify box, type a password, and then click OK.

In the Reenter password to modify box, type the password again, and then click OK.

The option is under the View, Zoom... menu, however, don't forget to put page breaks in where you want a topic to end. Another suggestion would be to create pages based upon your outline and store your topics in different documents so as to not loose too much data if something happens. And, don't forget to make a backup copy as you go, and store this on an alternate drive, not the working drive.

Tools -> Options -> Security tab

First line is: "File encryption options for this document" and then

"Password to open"

On the top in your tool bar section there is a small lock icon click on it..the rest will just flow.. If it's not there click on tools..then protect document..

At the top click:

Tools

Options

Save (tab at top of box that opens)

and the password protect is at the bottom

Hope that helps!
