How secure is the encryption - Office 2007
IF you use a long (at least 12 digits) and sensibly random password, the
file is as safe as can be from casual thieves. However, absolutely no encryption is safe from government agencies: they can crack anything given time and reason. Note that some new notebooks have an embedded security chip (TPM - Trusted Platform Module) that can be used with security software provided by the manufacturer (i.e. HP Protect Tools) that will encrypt your whole hard drive. There are also third party utilities that will do a similar task. Try a search in Google for laptop drive encryption. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "churin" wrote in message ...
