Password protecting multiple existing doc files

1. Open the folder where your documents are stored.
2. Select all the documents that you want to password protect.
3. Right-click on the selected documents and choose "Properties" from the context menu.
4. In the Properties dialog box, click on the "Advanced" button.
5. In the Advanced Attributes dialog box, check the box next to "Encrypt contents to secure data" and click "OK".
6. You will be prompted to confirm the action. Choose "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" and click "OK".
7. You will be asked to choose a password for the encryption. Enter a strong password and confirm it.
8. Click "OK" to close the Properties dialog box.

Now, all the selected documents will be password protected with the same password. You will need to enter the password every time you want to open or modify the documents.

Note that this method uses the built-in encryption feature of Windows, which may not be as secure as third-party encryption software. Also, make sure to remember the password or store it in a safe place, as there is no way to recover it if you forget it.
