Microsoft Word document question?

I am typing up a private document in Microsoft Word (2007). Is there anyway to save this in a way that it requires a password to get into or something of the like?

    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.

    You can download a 3rd party program like AxCrypt.

    http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/

    There you can easily encrypt the file so that only a password can open it. However, you'll need a computer with AxCrypt installed or use the self-decrypting setting if you want to E-mail it privately.

    It's a very secure system I use for my own personal journal.
