Password Protecting


Question Posted Friday December 16 2005, 12:57 pm

Hello, I have Window's XP Home Edition, and I was wondering how do I password protect a word document (it's Microsoft word)? Is that even possible?

Also is there a way to password protect a folder?

Thank you

There is a way to password protect a folder, I've done it before. But when I did it, it ended up passwording every folder on the computer. lol. I can't remember how I did it though, that was about a year ago. You might want to look under the Control Panel and see what you can find.

I don't think that you can password protect a folder, but I'm not positive.

However, I can tell you how to protect a Word document. I'm going to give you step by step since I don't know how computer proficient you are.

Open the document that you want to password protect in Word.

Click "Tools" in the top menu bar. Then click "Options..." at the very bottom. Open the "Security" tab by clickin on it.

Enter your password in the "Password to open" text box.

The next time you open the document, you should have to input a password to open the document.
