Require a password to open or modify a file

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.

Open the file.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Security.

Create a password to open

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.
