Hi Col,
I do nog know which version of Word you are using. But normally you
choose for Extra | Protect Document. Then you can choose for the option
you want. Type your password en Word wil ask to confirm it, so type the
password again. Don't forget your password ;-)

Good luck,
Maria

Default how to password protect a new created document desktop folder

You cannot password-protect a folder from within Word or any
other Office application. But there are at least two ways to do
it in Windows XP:

How To Use Compressed (Zipped) Folders in Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223316
Best practices for the Encrypting File System

Please be sure you understand the instructions and caveats before
you embark on this course of action.
