Now you can password protect your word documents as Microsoft has integrated a password security feature in Microsoft office 2007 and later released office versions. If you need to store some highly confidential data then you can store it in a word document and secure it by keeping a password. Follow the below steps to keep password to a word document.
Step1: Open a word document
Step2: Click on “Microsoft Office” button and select “Save As” option.
Step3: Now “Save As” window will pop-up, click “Tools” at the bottom left corner of the window and select “General Options”.
Step4: You’ll find two text fields “Password to open” and “Password to modify”. Password to open is to prompt for password whenever document is opened and password to modify is to ask for password whenever you need to modify the data in the word document.
Step5: Enter the password words and click on Ok button.
Step6: Now a window will appear asking you for password confirmation, so re-enter the passwords and click on Ok. That’s it now your word document is password protected.
