If you want to protect a Microsoft Office Word document from being accessed by unauthorized users, you can always protect it with a password. You don’t need to install any third-party software to password-protect a Microsoft Office Word document. You can do it right within the application. To protect your document with a password, start Microsoft Office Word then load or open your document.

Next, click “File” then “Save As”. In “Save As” dialog, click “Tools” at the bottom and select “General Options”.

In “General Options” dialog, enter your password then click “OK” and then save the file. Note: you can specify two (2) different passwords to open and modify the file. But to be practical, one password is enough to protect the file. As long as no one else knows the password, the file is safe from getting unauthorized access.
