Here is an answer copied from yahoo answers:

‘Fortunately you can prevent this from happening in Word 2007 by password protecting your documents. If you use passwords, you have two different options. You can require a password to open the document and/or you can require a password to make any changes to it.

To configure a password, open your Word document and click Options from the Tools menu. Click the Security tab. You’ll see there are two options available: Password to open and Password to modify. To use either one, simply type a password into the field. Click OK to save your changes.’

Can you lock a whole file? I have a whole set of hundreds of Word Documents that I don’t want anyone to read that I want to lock up while I am out of town. I want to let my friend use my computer, but I don’t want to let her have access to certain files. Any ideas?
