Protecting a document

I wonder if anyone can help me? I've been writing short stories and want to protect them on my computer, so that prying eyes can't get into them - I'm using Microsoft Word, how do I lock them?
I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

C'mon and dance while you, while you still have your cherry babe, cherry babe..

Thanks for the link - unfortunately it's for the Mac and in the words of a famous advert "I'm a PC" wink

I think I've figured it out though. Thanks again hug

This is really basic:

Open the document you want to protect.

Select the Tools menu, go to Options...

Click on the Security tab.

You can enter a password that must be entered before the document will open.

Click OK.
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

How do you lock other kinds of documents and/or folders?

the simplest way is to create a zip file with a password, and put everything you want to protect, inside it.

Another simpler way is to put your files on a USB flash card instead of saving it to the hard drive.
