I want to be able to enter a password for a Word document and if someone else
tries to open the document they will have to enter the password before the
Word document will open.
 
Which version of Word? Some work differently, but assuming 2002-2003, go to
Tools>Options>Security while the doc is open and you will find what you are
looking for.

In other versions you will need to look for the"Save" tab instead of the
"Security" tab. You can also access this option from the "Save" menu by
clicking on the "Tools" button at the top right of the screen and choosing
the "General Options" from the drop down menu. The option to password
protect the document is towards the bottom of the window.
