  4. Retype the same password that you typed in step 2.

  5. Click OK.

When anyone attempts to open the file in the future, a password prompt will appear. They must enter the password and click OK to continue.

To remove a password, returning the document to its original unencrypted status, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Office image from book Prepare image from book Encrypt Document. The Encrypt Document dialog box opens.

  2. Delete the contents of the Password text box.

Another way to assign a password is to choose File image from book Save As, click Tools image from book General, and enter a password in the dialog box that appears. This method is the same as it was in PowerPoint 2003.
