Word is a great application to use for putting together many different types of documents Imagine this though - you have just spent hours upon hours putting together the your document only to find out that another user has come along and made some undesirable changes to it.

Fortunately in Office XP you can prevent this from happening by password protecting your documents. If you use passwords, you have two different options. You can require a password to open the document or you can require a password to make any changes to it.

To configure a password, open your Word document and click Options from the Tools menu. Click the Security tab. You’ll see there are two options available. There is Password to open and Password to modify. To use either one, simply type a password into the field. Click OK to save your changes.
