passwords on word documents

[pitstopbunny]

My dad needs to put a password on a word document (data protection)....how do we do it?

[overthetop]

Select Office button. Select Prepare. Select Encrypt Document. Well, that's how it's done on mine anyway. Forget your password and you won't be able to access the document.

If you are in Word then go to the File tab and select Info; the top setting is Permissions which includes setting a password.

forgot to say that that is how it can be done in Word 2010

There is lots of help in Word, have you searched that?
