When you work on a shared computer i.e. a computer that multiple users use then you should protect your documents with a password. This is because if any intruder accesses your valuable document, s/he can delete the content, modify the content, or steal information. In this article, you acknowledge protecting Word and Excel documents in Office 2007. Whenever you protect any document, always try to use typical password so that no one can easily break it. Always use alphanumeric password for protecting your documents. In MS Office 2007, you can specify password either to protect the document from being opened by any other person or to protect the document from being modified or for both. Let us execute the following steps to protect a Word 2007 or Excel 2007 document:
1. Click the Office button after you have created the document.
2. Select Save As option. The Save As window appears.
3. Click the down-down arrow in Tools button on left bottom of Save As window and select the General Options, as shown in following figure:
4. Specify password in the Password to open text box to protect the document from being opened.
5. Specify password in the Password to modify text box to protect the document from being modified.
6. Select the Read-only recommended check-box.7. Click the OK button:
The Confirm Password window appears. This Confirm Password window appears twice if you have specified password in both Password to open and Password to modify text boxes otherwise appears only once.
8. Re-enter password and click the OK button:
9. Now, save the document at desired location on your computer system.
In this way, you can provide security to Word 2007 or Excel 2007 documents and stop others poking inside your documents.
