Securing your files and documents in your PC or laptop is one of the most important thing that you should consider. If you don't want others to see, read, or copy your important stuff such as documents, records and other legal data, you should know how to give SECURITY to all these stuffs so that no one can never trespassed your PRIVACY.
Almost everybody use Microsoft Office in creating legal documents, records and important presentation. For example, if you are a teacher, you have to used MS Excel as your class record, meaning you have to input all your student's raw scores and compute all grades of your students. Now, there are some situations where other people accidentally open your class record and do editing such as changing or deleting some of part of the class record. And of course, you get mad when someone do the unnecessary damn thing. (May mga tao kasing sadyang ipinanganak para maging kontrabida sa buhay natin...hihi) Now the only way to protect your important and legal documents using MS Office is to set Password Security so that no one can access it.
SETTING PASSWORD SECURITY TO DOCUMENTS IN MS WORD
STEP 1: Create your document. Then Save it by pressing CTRL + S or F12 and a Save As Dialog box will appear just like the image below.
STEP 2: In the Save As dialog box, click the TOOLS button at the bottom. A pop-up options will appear, then select "General Options..." (see the image below)
STEP 3: After clicking the "General Options..." menu, a message dialog prompt. (see the image below)
Here, you need to enter security password to open and security password to modify the document. You can enter or set different security password. Then click the OK button.
Try to open the document you save and the first thing your computer to ask from you is the just like the image below:
The password to open.
And the password to modify.
STEP 4: And the final step is NEVER, EVER GIVE AND FORGET YOUR PASSWORD. Or else you will never open your document anymore. BEWARE! (hehehe)
Note: You can also set security password in MS Excel and MS Powerpoint files if you wish. Just follow the 4 steps above.
That's it. It's very easy, right? Congratulations! You're done.
