Password protect question

[Dave A]

I instituted password protection on a document in Word 2003. But when I go
to open that document it does not ask for the password. Is password
protection meant just for other users on this computer or other computers?
Why not everytime the document is opened by anyone?

If you have added a password, then you have added it for everyone including
yourself. It seems you have not added a password as you imagined.

File > Save As > Tools > Security - put a password in the Password to open
dialog. Click 'Advanced' and set a stronger encryption than the default.
Then click OK (NOT PROTECT DOCUMENT). Re-enter the password in the confirm
password box that will pop up and click OK. Then save and close and re-open
the document. You will get a prompt to enter the password. Don't forget the
password!
