I have a table in Microsoft word 1997 that I'm going to be electronically
distributing. However, there are two columns in it that I do not want some
of the recipients to be able to see. Does anyone know how I can highlight
certain parts of a document and require a password to see just those words?
I know about using the hidden text function, but this only works if you're
printing the document.

If recipients are simply reading the document, your best bet would be to
create PDF with or without the text showing (use styles and hidden font to
handle that). If you need to distribute an editable Word document, then one
way or another recipients are going to be able to see all the information in
the file. If there's stuff you don't want them to see, take it out of the
file.
