Yes, you would use a 3rd party encryption utility. It looks like only
Vista Ultimate comes with BitLocker, and other versions don't have built-in
encryption.

It's been my observation that easy encryption, such as is available in XP
Pro, carries a lot of risk. Far too many users who turn it on forget to,
or just don't know that they have to finish the job and back up the
certificates, and wind up permanently losing their data.

No, only on Ultimate. It's not supported on any version of Home. Use a
3rd party utility; it's probably safer.

"Maybe" this will help You could download and install the free
OpenOffice.org (It's similar to MS Office) and use it to password protect
individual files.
