How can I password protest a group of Word documents? Can I apply a password
at the folder level (if so, how?) or do I need to password protect each
individual file?

You can protect a folder *if* your disk is formatted with the NTFS
file system, not if it's FAT32. The details also depend on what
version of Windows you have.

This is a Windows thing and not a Word thing; you do it by
right-clicking the folder in Windows Explorer and selecting Sharing &
Security, then clicking the Security tab. From there it gets a bit
more complicated, so if the article at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=308418 doesn't explain it well
enough, ask in one of the Windows operating system newsgroups.
