Security password
I would like to know how I can set a password for a document in Word so that it cannot be changed and is read only.
When I go to tools, protect document, security and choose read-only, you cannot change and save the document but you can type and print it out. So is there a way for the document to be completely read-only that cannot be changed at all?
RE: Security password
Hi Leena,
there are a few ways to protect a word document.
Method 1:
1) In "My documents", right click on your file -> Properties
2) Tick on "Read-Only"
3) Press OK
Method 2:
1) Open file
2) Go through what you did:
Tools Menu > Protect Document > Edit Restrictions, choose "No changes Read-Only" > Click on "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection
3) Set up a password
4) Save your file.
Hope this helps.
