how do i add a password to my ms word file?

Answer 1

Assuming that you are using Microsoft Word 2003

Open the document.
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Security.
Do one of the following:
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.

Answer 2

File, Save As

In the Save As screen, click Tools, Security Options and there will be a space to enter the password. After you enter it, you will get a second screen to confirm the password. They will warn you to write it down somewhere because if you forget it, there is no way to open the document.

Answer 3

You can set a password for your file by going to Tools -> 'Protect Document'. On the right hand side panel, there's a few choice on how to protect. You can set the limitation to read only for others and set a password for editing.
