I would like to set a password that will be required every time the document
is opened. In WordPerfect, I can easily do this by simply saving the
document with a password. I would like to be able to do the same thing with
Word. I used information in the help files and did the following:
toolsoptionssecuritypassword to open (and checked OK after setting the
password and again after re-entering). That did not work -- the document
opened instantly without requiring the password. So, I repeated the
sequence except that I entered a password in "password to modify." I still
had the same problem -- as far as I can see, nothing happens because the doc
opens without using the password.

What do I need to do to accomplish this task? I am using MS Word 2002
(10.6612.6714) SP 3 and Win XP-Home Edition.

Thanks,
MaryL
