MS - Setting a password on a document

[Dave]

Is there a way to set up a password to open a word doc or an excel sheet?

For Word, see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP051860901033.aspx
"Require a password to open or modify a file". If you assign a
password to open, then DO NOT FORGET the password, because it
will be very difficult (if not impossible) open or gain access to
the password-protected Word document.

For Excel, see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/CH062528131033.aspx
"Worksheet Security and Protection".

See File, Save As, Tools, then (Security for Word 2003, General for
