How to put a password for the document

To reliably protect your data in Microsoft Office programs, the developer has provided a variety of document encryption methods: an electronic signature, a change ban, a ban on adding certain elements. The most convenient and most common way is the password. With the help of it, you can completely ban watching a document to unauthorized persons, the ability to change it and edit will also be only. However, any person who has access to it will be able to delete this document that it does not prevent the password. After recovery from the basket, the document saves your password and still does not give any access to data. Try to encrypt the document on this example.

To begin with, create a document in any Microsoft Office product, for example, in Word. It absolutely does not matter: it is empty or not, you yourself created it, or received from any sources.
Pay attention to the upper left corner of the program, there you will see the "File" button on which you want to click once.

In the drop-down list, find the line "Details", it will be necessary for you to establish a password.

Among several partitions, click on the "Permissions", the small menu will immediately appear.

You will see all the ways to secure a document from prying eyes: restriction on viewing for some users, restrictions for all, electronic signature and finally password. Click on the "Enchant Password" string.

Come up with a reliable combination that only you know and be remembered. Note that passwords in Microsoft Office products are not subject to recovery: neither inside the program or through user support. You simply lose access to the file if you forget your password.

The line is sensitive to the registry, which means that the small "R" and the big "R" - different characters. Use characters and numbers, it is allowed. After entering the input, click "OK".

At the next step, you will need to confirm the password to protect yourself from typos and eliminate the probability of error when entering. Just repeat your password and click "OK" again.

If everything went successfully, then the "permissions" line in the "Information" menu will be highlighted with orange. Save the document to any directory.

Try to open your file double clicking to check what happens.

If you have seen such a window with a password request, then the encryption procedure is successfully completed. Enter your password.

Edit the file, as you consider you need, after the new saving, all settings will remain the same: you do not need to set the login password again, it will be until you independently remove it in the "Details" menu.

This method will help you protect the document not only on your working computer, but also in other situations, for example, when the document is on the memory card and you need it to convey to another person. Encrypt the file and calmly transmit it on any media of the information: after copying to the computer, the password will remain.
This method is applicable to all Microsoft Office products, so you can protect text files, tables, presentations and more. On the example of Word and Excel, remember the algorithm:

First go to the "File".

And then in "Details".

Combining protection methods, you can protect yourself even from removing the document. For example, using an electronic signature. Be careful and do not forget your password.
