You can protect your documents from being read or saved by unauthorized persons by applying document protection – or more specifically, read and/or write protection. For example, you can require the entry of a password to open or save a protected document.
To protect a document, choose the ribbon command File | Properties, switch to the Protection tab in the dialog box and select the type of document protection. Also enter the desired read and/or write password.
The following types of protection are available:
▪No protection (this is the default setting whereby the document is not protected)
▪Write protection (the document can be opened, but saving is only possible with the password)
▪Read protection (the document can be opened only with the password)
▪Protection depending on password (a combination of read and write protection)
For more information on enabling and disabling document protection, see the following pages.
