Protection

[chequer]

Word 2002 SP3
I want to protect a Word document.
I open the file I want to protect.
Select Tools/Options/Security
Then under ‘File encryption for this document’
At ‘Password to Open’ I entered my password
I clicked the ‘Protect Password’ box, then OK
Then saved the document.

I then closed and re opened Word but when I opened what was supposed to be a
protected document
It opened without asking for a password.

From Tools > Options > Security, enter your password in the dialog, then
Click OK at the bottom of the dialog (not Protect Document). You will be
prompted to verify your password. Then save and close.

Graham,
After protecting my important files, Banking etc.. . in 'My Documents
Folder', I got to wondering if it was possible to protect, 'My Documents
Folder' en-bloc.
I have a password on my computer but this is mainly to stop my Great Grand
children to opening it when I'm not home..

Set up a new user profile in Windows for the great grandchildren to access,
that doesn't have access to any of your files.
