You can password protect most Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) quickly and easily. If you’ve never seen the option, I don’t blame you – Microsoft hid it pretty well. From the Save As dialog box, click Tools > General Options. Now simply type in a password and you’re protected!

Extra Tip: If you want everyone to be able to open the document, but only people with a password to be able to change it, use the Password to modify option.
