Protecting confidential information is always important. In Microsoft Office 2007, documents (Word/Excel or Powerpoint) can be encrypted or password protected easily. Follow the simple steps below to set the password.

1)Open the document for which you want to enter the password.
2)Click on the windows icon situated at the top left corner of the document and navigate to Prepare -> Encrypt Document. See the self explainatory screenshot below. 


3)Enter the password and then click OK. Re-enter the password to confirm it. Make sure you are entering the passwords that are strong enough.
