WORD: Word of Warning: Passwords

Just a quick reminder that when you create a password for a WORD document, you have to remember the password or you will never be able to open the document again.

When creating a password for a WORD doc, use something specific to that document.  For instance, if you are creating a password for a document regarding an employee, it may be helpful to use that employee's name as the password, i.e. JOHNSON.  Making passwords on WORD docs too specific will only make it more difficult to remember when it comes time to open it.

Here's how you save a document with a password on WORD:

1. File, Save As...
2. Type the name of the document in the File Name window
3. Choose Tools, (upper right corner), Security Options
4. Enter the password in the "Password to Open" window
5. You will be asked to enter it again
6. Then hit Save
