Quoting from Word 2002 Help:
Passwords have a number of uses; for example, you can: €¢ Require a password to open a file to prevent unauthorized users from opening a document at all. €¢ Require a password to modify a file to allow others to open the document but only allow authorized users to make changes to it. If someone changes the document without the password to modify, that person can save the document only by giving it a different file name. Passwords are case-sensitive, so if you vary the capitalization when you assign the password, users must type the same capitalization when they enter the password. A password can contain any combination of letters, numerals, spaces, and symbols, and it can be up to 15 characters long. If you select advanced encryption options, you can make a password even longer. When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the password-protected document. 1. Open the file. 2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Security. 3. Do one of the following: -- Create a password to open 1. In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK. 2. In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK. -- Create a password to modify 1. In the Password to modify box, type a password, and then click OK. 2. In the Reenter password to modify box, type the password again, and then click OK. Tip: To create a long password €” up to 255 characters €” click Advanced, and select an RC4 encryption type.
