To enable password protection

1.From the Office Ribbon Click on prepare and select “Encrypt Document”.

2.Word Will ask you the password that you want to set.Enter your Password and remember it as this will be required for opening and editing the document.

Now if anyone tries to open the document(including you) Word will ask for the password making sure the information is in the right hands.This is a very cool way to show the Content Thief that you are smarter.
