Protecting a Document

graphics/microsoftoffice52.gif

You can use the security options in Word to protect the integrity of your documents as others review it. At times, you will want the information in a document to be used, but not changed; at other times, you might want only specific people in your office to be able to view the document. When you set a password to a document, take a moment to write it down exactly as it was entered; the password is case-sensitive. Word doesn't keep a list of passwords. If you lose or forget the password for a protected document, you will not be able to open it.
