Is there a way to lock a file with a password? There is just one file that I need to lock up and I can’t have a different log in password because of the network requirements that I have. Thanks for the help.

Here's the procedure for requiring a password to open a Word Document:
1. Open the document.
2. On the File menu, click Save As.
3. Click Options.
4. In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.
5. In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK.
6. Click Save.
That's it.
