Is it possible to password protect a publish document?

No. You can put the Publisher document into a zip file and encrypt the file.
There are various other methods if you simply don't want someone to edit it.

I have put together a document and would like to share it with others but
would like to protect it first so that it can't be edited or modified.

Send it as a PDF - the easiest way to achieve that purpose.

I don't have file compression or encryption software. Are there any free
programs available on the web?

You don't have the capability to create a ZIP file on your system??

Spend a few bucks and get it.

Are the folks you don't want editing your file on the computer? Right-click the
file, properties, click hidden.

I concur with the suggestions to convert the file to PDF, using one of many
free- and shareware programs available, especially if the people with whom
you are sharing it don't have the same or a later version of Publisher as
yours.
