Microsoft Word - Use of a password to gain access?

I would like to be, the only person who can get access to the letters and documents, I have saved in Microsoft Word.

Can someone please tell me, if it is possible to install a PASSWORD, that must be given, before a saved file can be opened?

As I am an old man, not too well and now a wee bit slow, please explain the steps I have to take, in very simple (non jargon) language.

I will be so grateful.

When you have created a document, click on ''Save As''. When the box appears, click on tools and then select ''Security options''. You can then type in a password. Give your document a name as usual and save as appropriate.

You can do the same with existing documents when you click on ''open''.

Hope this helps!

Hi

If you have document open pick Tools from the top menu and select Options

pick the Security tab and choose 'Password to open this document' feature.
