Require a password to open a document

When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If
you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the
password-protected document. Recovering passwords is not easy - and
sometimes not possible.



Open the document.

On the File menu, click Save As.

On the Tools menu in the Save As dialog box, click General Options.

In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.

In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click
OK.

Click Save.
