Password Protect Microsoft Word and Excel Documents |
Contents
- Introduction
- Microsoft Word Password Protection
- Microsoft Excel Password Protection
- Attaching Password Protected Files to Email Messages
- Opening Password Protected Attachments
Introduction
Microsft Word and Microsoft Excel both have the ability to assist you in protecting your document's security. This "How Do I" document provides you with the steps necessary to protect your document from prying eyes.
Please remember than when password protecting a document, the person who is receiving the document must also have the password or they will not be able to view or modify it.
IMPORTANT: Do not include the password in the same email as the file you are sending. If the email is intercepted the person intercepting it will have both the document and the password, defeating the purpose of password protecting the document in the first place.
Microsoft Word Password Protection
Once you have completed your document there are only a few simple steps required to protect it.
First left-click on the "Tools" menu and then select "Options" from the drop down menu.
On the "Options" screen that appears you must left-click on the 'Security' tab to display the window shown below.
Once you have clicked on the 'Security Tab' you must enter a password in the 'Password to Open:' box. Doing this prevents anyone from being able to open the document without the password you assign.
Remember to use a unique password that will not be easy for someone else to figure out.
Click on OK once you have chosen a password. The window shown below will appear asking you to verify the password you entered.
Once you have done this save the document as you normally would and forward it as usual.
If you require assistance with attaching the document to an email message refer to 'Attaching Password Protected Files to Email Messages'.

Attaching Password Protected Files to Email Messages
Opening Password Protected Attachments
There is only one extra step required when you are trying to open a password protected Word or Excel file that you have received.
As you are opening the file in the normal way,
you will see the dialogue box below open up. It requires that you
enter the password chosen by the person who created the file. Enter it into the white box and hit OK and the file will open.

Hard Drive Recovery of the Month

Hard drive crash? Need your data? We can save it!
(Computer Works Consulting Group LLC) is an authorized partner in DriveSavers' Reseller Program. Mention our Reseller ID#(DS67190) and receive a discount on your data recovery!
DriveSavers has specialized in recovering lost data for 20 years and has the highest success rate in the industry. The company recovers data in as little as 24 hours from all operating systems and storage media including hard drives, RAID, disk arrays, servers, floppies, CD-ROM/DVD, backup tapes, flash memory, removable and magneto-optical cartridges. DriveSavers is authorized by all hard drive manufacturers to open sealed drive mechanisms without voiding the original warranty. They are known worldwide as the most trusted and respected company in the industry.
* New recovery services ( iPod, iPhone, Jump Drivers, Media Cards ,Solid State Memory, DVRs, Apple Os )
* DriveSavers Enterprise Systems Group recovers critical data from all types of high-capacity RAID, NAS, SAN, tape and multi-disk servers.
Visit their web site at www.drivesavers.com to learn more or:
Call DriveSavers today to receive an immediate estimate: 1-800-440-1904 Reseller ID#(DS67190) receive a discount on your data recovery!
Insurance Movement *There is a slight movement in the insurance industry for both home-owners and renters insurance where they have been covering the cost of data recovery. It could be called "loss of intellectual property" by them and would probably be in the section under valuable records and documents. Another section to look over would be in the property/casualty coverage. If they have blanket coverage, this could include data loss along with the property damage.
For some people it is worth pursuing - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Others are not willing to touch their insurance company over concerns their rates will go up. This is certainly a very personal decision on a case-by-case basis.
For business insurance the terminology used would be "business critical". Basically, the business/company can't move forward without getting their data back.
GSA Schedule
*We have our recovery services on a GSA schedule, GS-35F-0121S, which can make it easier for the following to access funding to pay for data recovery.
If you have a customer that is a City, State, Federal, Non-profit or Education entity, please be sure to let our advisors know when calling for a quote. We have government pricing and contracts in place that offer great benefits to these establishments. If a single drive is under 200 GB, the overall savings with our contract at this time is approximately 27 percent.
LOST! Crucial Data from Air Force Base
Dean Johnson, systems administrator for The Civil Engineering Squadron at Shaw AFB in South Carolina, keeps computers for 350 users running smoothly. Except when a simple backup procedure failed, it jeopardized access to every file on the squad’s 12-drive RAID server.
Johnson initially believed he could solve the problem himself, but when the system controller failed too, he stopped his recovery efforts. “I knew that if I fired up a new controller and it started a new array, I could kiss my data goodbye.”
New backups had replaced older ones, and three-quarters of the new files were not backed up at all. At risk were: vital training data and flight records that, if lost, would require students to repeat their training, along with archives for the base housing office—information mandated by Congress to be kept in perpetuity.
Johnson described his system to DriveSavers engineers as a RAID 5 array, which would have allowed it to be rebuilt using data stored on a spare drive. However, after our RAID Enterprise Engineering team analyzed the drives, they discovered the configuration was actually a RAID 0 with data striped across all 12 drives. This presented a more difficult challenge because the drives now were mixed up in an unknown order and not how they had been physically arranged in Johnson’s original setup.
When DriveSavers engineers finally unraveled the brainteaser, they recovered a full 45GBs of the most-wanted data. “The value of the recovered data far exceeded the cost of recovery,” said Johnson.
