Office 2003 security

Which is more secure --

1) a password-protected Office 2003 Word document,
2) a password-protected Office 2003 Excel spreadsheet, or
3) a password-protected Office 2003 Access database?

Here's the origin of this question. I have a user (user 1) who would like to keep information safe from other user(s)
who could be accessing user 1's machine (co-worker, for example). I went over some possibilities with them and realized
that I don't know the answer to the above question. Do all three applications use the same "level of security" or not?
For purposes of this question, I am referring to using a database password in Access, not user-level security.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I would say they are all equally unsecure. If a person searches the
internet for a password cracker, they are likely to find a site that cracks
all of them.
