To Protect a File with a Password

  1. From the Protect dialog, click the With Password button.
  2. Type the desired password to protect the file in the Password field.
  3. Retype the password in the Confirm field.
  4. Click OK.

    The file is protected with the password.

    Note: The MS_PROTECTION_PASSWORD_MINIMUM configuration variable sets the minimum length of a file protection password. The default is 5. Setting this variable to 0 allows for a blank password.
    Note: The MS_PROTECTION_PASSWORD_MIXED configuration variable determines if a file protection password can contain a mixture of numbers and letters. Setting the variable to 0 permits only letters in the password. The default (1) permits a combination of numbers and letters in the password. This option is more secure since it is harder to guess a mixed password than an all numeric password.
