How To Protect Word Document Files With A Password

Have your ever thought of locking your documents without allowing others to access them. To allow this a security feature is incorporated in the Microsoft Word 2007 to help protect or lock your files by establishing a password to those files. To do so, perform the below steps:

• First click on the “Microsoft Office Button” that is present at the top most left corner of the Microsoft Office Document window.
• After clicking the office button click on “Save As” option. 
• On clicking the office button, a new window will be popped up.
• In the pop up window click on “Tools” present at the bottom of the window.
• Then a list of options will be shown, click on “General options” from that list.
• After clicking a window will be popped up asking “Password to open” and “Password to modify”.
• ‘Password to open’ indicates the protection to open your file and ‘Password to modify’ indicates the password to modify the content in the document.
• Type those two passwords and click on “OK” button.
• Thus your document is secured and no one can access or modify it unless they know the passwords.
